No file or test is named. Start by locating umqtt.simple's connection and socket handling, then compare it with the websocket setup described in the issue. Done means a confirmed way to use websockets or a clearly documented limitation.

Description

I have an existing - working - MQTT application using Paho-MQTT and Websockets.
I am working on a new device, which lacks the memory to use Paho-MQTT, but I cannot get umqtt.simple to work with Websockets.
The only example I could find showed setting up the websocket, then setting e.g. cleitn=MQTTClient(<clientid>, <server>, sock=websocket, port=<port>), which fails irrespective of how "sock" is set.
Is there a way to use the websocket protocol with umqtt.simple?
Many thanks,
