Mosquitto for Windows ===================== Mosquitto for Windows comes in two flavours, win32 or Cygwin. The win32 version is only supported on Windows Vista or later. In all cases, the dependencies are not provided in this installer and must be installed separately in the case that they are not already available. Capabilities ------------ Some versions of Windows have limitations on the number of concurrent connections. Non-server versions have been reported to be limited to approximately 1024 connections. Websockets ---------- The broker executables provided in the installers do not have Websockets support enabled. If you wish to have a version of the broker with Websockets support, you will need to compile libwebsockets version v1.7 onwards because no Windows binaries are provided. Please note that on Windows, libwebsockets limits connections to a maximum of 64 clients.
