It does not.

My plan is to make the implementation correct and "accepted" for libcurl 
first, and then move on to make sure that it can be used in a good way by the 
command line tool as well.

I was also hoping that websocket would find user interest so that contributors 
would show up helping us get all of these details improved and ultimately 
landed as non-experimental.

In absense of that, I will certainly get to this myself eventually, but 
recently I have focused on other areas in the project. There is no time 
schedule for when this will happen, and frankly I don't even yet have a clear 
picture exactly what we need to do to make websocket support for the curl tool 
excellent and a joy to use. If you have ideas on how you ideally would want it 
to work, let us know!
