No, the c++ messaging API supports both 0-10 and 1.0. It does not at present support websockets however.
Anyhow, it would require me to manually send the AMQP commands using websockets right? I was searching for something like the QPID c++ messaging api where I could specify a HTTP proxy. In my understanding something like this does not exist right?
At present I am not aware of any c++ AMQP API that speaks websockets (or tunnels over HTTP in any other way) 'out of the box'. (There are javascript libraries that can speak AMQP over websockets though).
It is conceivable that the proton c++ event driven API could support websockets at some time in the future. However at present it is something you would have to implement yourself.
One alternative that I imagined would be to send the request from the client via HTTP POST to a webserver (e.g. using curl with proxy setting). This webserver would then connect to the broker (in the same network) and send the answer back. I'm not too experienced with these things, but in my understanding this would be the most easy workaround to solve this problem without switching to another broker / message queue concept right? If there is anything more suitable for my usecase, please let me know...
There are libraries that help proxying between websockets and tcp. E.g. https://git1-us-west.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid-proton/repo?p=qpid-proton.git;a=blob;f=examples/javascript/messenger/ws2tcp.js;h=1d90543eb9e8da353d4c8d8b8bdd1c1e8dae2a5f;hb=HEAD or pythons websockify.
You can as you point out do the same for HTTP, however there is a less direct equivalence between the protocols there so you have to make some decisions about how to map between them. It should not be terribly hard though. A very trivial example of something similar: https://git1-us-west.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid-proton/repo?p=qpid-proton.git;a=blob;f=examples/python/client_http.py;h=bf65639702d24c6c6991e1c93c16210458778dbc;hb=HEAD
