Example demonstrating how websockify and nbind could be used to port a network application using tcp sockets into the web

###Running Commands are assumed to be run from repo root

1. initialize submodules: git submodule update --init

2. build websockify: cd websockify && make

3. build server with CMake (you need boost)

   You may use any program which does some network interaction, I use echo server as an example

4. build client (optional, since the repo contains prebuilt js code)

   you need emsdk to do this

   cd client && npm install && make

5. run server: cd websockify && run 8080 -- ./path-to-server-executable 8080

6. run client: * cd client && python3 -m http.server * navigate to http://localhost:8000/index.html in a browser * open debug console * you should see output
