Description

Continuation of akka/akka#18709
We currently do not support websocket extensions (i.e. registering "an extension" in the server, or requesting one in the client).

Currently we see no strong need to provide this functionality.
If you have a strong use case for it, please comment here

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. First clarify a concrete use case and the required server-side extension registration and client-side extension request behavior; done means the agreed WebSocket extension flow is supported on both sides.
