I think what I want to do is allowed, but not sure how to do it.  After my server creates an endpoint and a web client connects,  When non web socket events occur in my server, I want to construct a message and send it to a the connected client, without the connect client first sending me a message.  
I used the echo server example as the basis for building my prototype code.  I already have a fairly complex server and want to be able to send notifications to connected clients.  Example would be most appreciated. 
Thank you

Hi Brad,

This is definitely allowed. The primary method is using endpoint.send with the connection_hdl for the connection you want to write to. The telemetry_server example demonstrates this.

Best,

Peter
