+# wss-client
+
+A-little-higher-level WebSocket client library.  
+Thanks to [http-client](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/http-client) and [http-client-tls](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/http-client-tls), this package supports `HTTP_PROXY` environment variable and TLS.
+
+## TODO
+
+- Support non-TLS connection via an HTTP proxy server (I have to modify the [websockets](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/websockets) package to do that).
+- Add APIs to modify config of both http-client and websockets.
+- Test with a mock server.
+
+<!-- Uncomment after uploading on Hackage.
+
+## Example
+
+An example program is here: [app/sample.hs](app/sample.hs).  
+Build the executable by enabling  build-sample flag:
+
+```bash
+stack unpack wss-client
+stack install wss-client --flag wss-client:build-sample
+```
