### Description

The function `httplib_unlock_connection()` removes the lock on a connection which was previously set with a call to [`httplib_lock_connection()`](httplib_lock_connection.md). Locking may be necessary when using [`httplib_write()`](httplib_write.md) or [`httplib_printf()`](httplib_printf.md) on websocket connections to prevent data corruption.
