Any header lws doesn't understand is skipped.

You can teach lws new headers, but it has a special procedure to rebuild the lexical anlyzer.

    - edit lib/lextable-strings.h and add the new header string at the end before the empty string (after "connect" at the moment)

    - add a matching entry in lib/libwebsockets.h, again after LWS_TOKEN_CONNECT at the moment

    - cd into ./lib and run this two times:

 $ gcc minilex.c -o minilex && ./minilex > lextable.h

Those headers look useful so please send a patch if you add them.
