Description
I tried to capture the packet and confirmed that chisel uses websocket to transmit TCP traffic., like this:

If the firewall only allows HTTP traffic and websocket is not allowed, chisel will not work.
Can chisel only use HTTP?
I find a similar thing called Bidirectional-streams Over Synchronous HTTP (BOSH).

Research direction
The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing chisel’s current WebSocket transport and compare it with the requested HTTP-only or BOSH-style approach. Done requires a decided protocol design and a working transport that functions when WebSocket and HTTP CONNECT are unavailable.
