Pusher C++ WebSocket Client

This is a very rudimentary pusher.com C++ client (not http/REST), using the pusher.com websocket API.

It is very much a work-in-progress project that arose out of a need to have a C++ client for a very specific application (wintershards.net).

I have tried to keep the API as simple as possible. Please feel free to use it for your own projects, but evaluate it first. I make no claims for it to be bug-free or functionally competent.

It currently supports:

• Connecting to Pusher and keeping the connection up in a background thread
• Callback for connection state change events
• Callback for errors
• Keeping track of subscribed channels, automatic resubscription
• Support for private- channels
• Support for presence- channels, including tracking members

It does not support:

• SSL
• Keeping track of presence userInfo data
• ?? All other things not mentioned.

Dependencies

• C++11
• libjansson for json parsing/generating (libjansson-dev on debianlikes).

Internally, it's currently using https://github.com/dhbaird/easywsclient, because that allowed me to get started quickly. :) However, because of that, there is no SSL support.
