Websocket Client on Kinetis

[stevenlutz]

I need to make a websocket connection to a server from a K64F (or other K series MCU) to exchange JSON formatted data. I can't find an example of how this is done with FreeRTOS, Lwip, or the KSDK at all. All I can find are Websocket server examples. 
Can someone please advise me of what I should ne looking for or if this is no possible?
I'm also tempted to try mongoose os.

Hi Steven:

This should be possible but you will probably have to implement the client yourself.

There is no lwIP web socket client example in SDK. Just a server socket implementation in middleware\lwip\src\apps\httpsrv\httpsrv_ws.c.

I have found some client libraries which perhaps could be used as inspiration for lwIP / FreeRTOS implementation:
