Are you talking about a PB desktop app communicating with a WebSockets enabled web application?

I haven't tried it myself but it appears to be similar to the WinHTTP API.

Microsoft documentation:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/websock/web-socket-protocol-component-api-portal

I have some examples that may be helpful.

WinHTTP API:

WinSock API:

Dear Roland, is there free component of websocket? seems Chilkat's is not free, I remember there is Powerserver in previous PB version, but seems not included in PB2017, do you know where can I get the PowerWebSocketClient.dll of PB2017?

Also, Chilkat has an ActiveX control for WebSocket client. They support PowerBuilder for all their products.
