Research direction
Start by examining the existing AsyncHTTPClient websocket support and how Play WS uses Akka Streams. Determine the API and integration scope needed to expose websocket support through Play WS, then confirm the expected behavior and tests before implementation. Done means websocket connections work through the client using Akka Streams.
