Description

@jpillora I need to tunnel https/http over an http connection specifically to GAE. Using this project would be ideal, however GAE doesn't yet support web sockets. Is there a way to fall back to HTTP when web sockets aren't available?

I know this isn't nearly as natural, but at least in our firewall environment I can only hit an http endpoint without ws support.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the WebSocket transport and HTTP endpoint, then determine how a non-WebSocket path could preserve HTTPS/HTTP tunneling for GAE. Done means the tunnel works through an HTTP-only connection and has coverage for environments without WebSocket support.
