Beast is a C++ library using Boost Asio, demonstrated at CppCon 2016 and used in rippled, an open source server application that implements a decentralized cryptocurrency system.

Please have a look at https://github.com/zaphoyd/websocketpp, which is based on Boost ASIO.

You can find a comparison of websocket implementations at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_WebSocket_implementations.

Check out the link to libwebsocket in the answer of warmcat to my question (Standalone C++ websocket server library) which was posted earlier.

Note that libwebsocket can be used for client and server side websockets.

cURL is probably going to be a little bit more highlevel and easier to use than boost, esp if this is HTTP you are looking at.

Lots of different ones, but you'd probably find the Boost libraries helpful.
