Description

Currently there is no spec defined mechanism for providing proxy configurations when ClientEndpoint is behind a http proxy. There are multiple variations of implementations but still such configuration could be interfaced in spec defined way so that connectToServer methods in WebSocketContainer respect that.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the WebSocket API specification and the WebSocketContainer connectToServer methods, focusing on how a ClientEndpoint behind an HTTP proxy could provide configuration. Compare the stated implementation variations and define a spec-level approach that those methods respect; done means the proxy configuration mechanism is specified consistently.
