I'm interested in feedback or suggestions for what/how to define a good websocket API that complements libcurl.

My very simple idea on how it could be added to the API:

1. We add another value to set CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY to (2). If this is used, and the URL is "http(s)://" then libcurl could "bootstrap" into a websocket connection.

2. Once it is completed, we could have the application extract the socket (to have something to wait on) and then use curl_easy_recv() and curl_easy_send() to receive and send websockets data over that connection.

What would this be missing?
