Websocket proxy, socat-style

FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information -V, --version Prints version information

ARGS: First specifier. Second specifier.

Specifiers can be: ws[s]:// Connect to websocket l-ws:host:port Listen unencrypted websocket tcp:host:port Connect to TCP l-tcp:host:port Listen TCP connections - stdin/stdout (more to be implemented)

Examples: websocat l-tcp:0.0.0.0:9559 ws://echo.websocket.org/ Listen port 9959 on address :: and forward all connections to a public loopback websocket websocat l-ws:127.0.0.1:7878 tcp:127.0.0.1:1194 Listen websocket and forward connections to local tcp Use nginx proxy for SSL if you want websocat - wss://myserver/mysocket Connect stdin/stdout to a secure web socket. Like netcat, but for websocket. websocat ws://localhost:1234/ tcp:localhost:1235 Connect both to websocket and to TCP and exchange data.

Specify listening part first, unless you want websocat to serve once.

IPv6 supported, just use specs like l-ws:::1:4567

Web socket usage is not obligatory, you any specs on both sides. ```
