Any plan to support also Server?

Hi guys,
Thank you for your work. Is there any plan to support also websocket server?

Are you referring to exposing NWWebSocketSever via the public API?

If so, do you have a use case in mind? In its current implementation the server isn't really suitable for use outside of the unit tests as it has too many baked-in assumptions IMHO. However, in the future a server object could be made available via the public API if there is a demand for it.

Yeah. Currently there are several implementation of websocket client for iOS, few using SwiftNIO.
However there is only one implementation (Telegraph from the far I know) which support even the server side.
SwiftNIO allows to create both server and client and I think it's a nice addition to the library supports both of them. I'm working on a software which needs a server on macOS and an iOS client and currently there aren't so many options to use.
Thanks.
