+SUMMARY="Websocket++ header-only library"
+DESCRIPTION="WebSocket++ is a header only C++ library that implements RFC6455 \
+The WebSocket Protocol. It allows integrating WebSocket client and server \
+functionality into C++ programs. It uses interchangeable network transport \
+modules including one based on raw char buffers, one based on C++ iostreams, \
+and one based on Asio (either via Boost or standalone). End users can write \
+additional transport policies to support other networking or event libraries \
+as needed."
