### Problem Description

protocol.handle() works for http but not WebSocket. so we can do protocol.handle('someProto') and then we can fetch('someProto://example/file.txt'), but we can not `new WebSocket('someProto://example/path')`

### Proposed Solution

having protocol.handle() work with both fetch and `new WebSocket()` or an option for protocol.handle() that enables it to handle WebSocket

### Alternatives Considered

having a separate function to register protocol handlers for WebSocket
