I am very happy with this feature. The manual however does not give any information on how to set up a secure websocket connection. Am I missing something? Peter

Xb2.NET supports secure WebSocket connections since ver. 3.5 for both client AND server sides. Here are 2 live samples: https://xb2.net/wsEcho.htm https://xb2.net/wsChat.htm For the chat sample above, suggest you open multiple browser sessions each with a different user ID. That way you can send messages from one browser session to another. Setting up the SSL connection is trivial. On the Xbase++ client-side, it's as simple as including "wss://" in the URL. On the Xbase++ server-side the existing HTTP server SSL settings are used to accept secure connections. The sample WEBSERVE application includes a robust SSL configuration that will give you an 'A' rating at Qualys SSL Labs, eg: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=xb2.net xbWebSocket class documentation can be found here: https://xb2.net/xb2net/Xb2NET.htm#xbWebSocket Best regards, Boris Borzic http://xb2.net http://sqlexpress.net industrial strength Xbase++ development tools

I notice that the new build 2.00.721 has SSL support for HTTPEndPoint() so
WebHandlers and WebSocketHandlers accept secure connections.
I am very happy with this feature. 
The manual however does not give any information on how to set up a secure
websocket connection. Am I missing something?

FYI... Xb2.NET supports secure WebSocket connections since ver. 3.5 for 
both client AND server sides. Here are 2 live samples:

session to another.

existing HTTP server SSL settings are used to accept secure connections.
