(Tcl) Duplicate Python websockets

See more WebSocket Examples

Demonstrates how to duplicate the following Python client-side websocket snippet:

async with websockets.connect('ws://192.168.1.35/websocket') as websocket:
await websocket.send("http.controller_login:username=xxx&password=xxxxx")
response = await websocket.recv()

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# In Python, the following line of code does more than just connect:
# 
#      websockets.connect('ws://192.168.1.35/websocket')
# 
# It is connecting to 192.168.1.35 without using TLS.  If the URI starts with "wss://", then TLS should be used.
# But this URI begins with just "ws:/", so no TLS.

# Also, after connecting, a GET request is sent to the /websocket endpoint.
# In summary, the websockets.connect function is establishing the connection and it sends a GET request.

# First establish the connection.
# No TLS, use the default HTTP port 80.
