+Subject: [PATCH] websockets: fix compatibility with older lws versions
+
+In 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5, the function was "libwebsockets_get_protocol" not
+"libwebsocket_get_protocol"  While the #define name doesn't matter on
+newer libwebsockets, where it redirects to lws_get_protocol, the naming
+is critical for older versions.
+
+Fixes: 477cd3e39911 (Fix missing context->listener for websocket client)
+
+Signed-off-by: Karl Palsson <karlp@etactica.com>
