Luzifer / mqttcli

mqttcli is a small CLI util to interface with a MQTT server. It can be used to publish messages to oder subscribe messages from a MQTT server.

At the moment it is intended to connect to simple setups using plain tcp, ssl with trusted certificates or websockets (ws). More options to come later.
