Description

Hi lipp,

In client*.lua I see the following code snippet:

if protocol ~= 'ws' then
error('Protocol not supported:'..protocol)
end

There is no support for wss:// ? Is secure connection support on the roadmap? A non-secured websocket connection will run into proxy problems.

Nathan.

Research direction

Start by reading the protocol check in client*.lua, especially the branch that rejects protocols other than ws. Determine the scope needed for wss:// support, including secure connection handling and proxy compatibility. Done should mean the client can establish secure WebSocket connections without rejecting the wss protocol.
