Hi Patrick

If you like to get your hands dirty, you could have a look at my
approaches (patches) mentioned in
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.curl.library/45993.

The second patch which enables you to retrieve the the active connection
socket I use productively for some time now.

This approach let libcurl do the HTTP part of the upgrade, and as your
code detects that the WebSocket-Upgrade is accepted by the server (got
101 and correct response headers), you set CURLPAUSE_ALL on the
easyhandle, and then use curl_easy_recv() and curl_easy_send() to
receive/send websocket data on the established connection. You also need
to get the socket of the easyhandle with CURLINFO_ACTIVESOCKET so you
can poll() on it.

cheers, Frank
