No, I have wss server written in libwebsockets that runs on my server. Part
of libwebsocket init is to set "port name"
const char * name => Protocol name that must match the one given in the
client Javascript new WebSocket(url, 'protocol') name

But I am not sure, how to read from my server using libCURL if I setup
protocol name on the server. If I leave name empty, it does not work either
plus JS version does not work either.

It sounds like you're trying to use libcurl to talk to a browser. My
understanding is that this will never work, because WebSockets is for
peer-to-server communication and not peer-to-peer and libcurl provides only
a client WebSockets implementation, like a browser does.
