Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-973:
----------------------------------------------

As of today HttpCore 5.0 should have all the necessary low level machinery to 
switch / upgrade protocol (see HTTPCORE-158), which should make it possible to 
plug in WebSocket support if anyone still cares.

> Websocket are designed for browser use but I see useful use cases in a java 
> client as well:
> - java clients for existing websites where changes are pushed to clients 
> using websockets
> - use of websockets to tunnel through firewalls
> - put all communication behind single port on servlet engine.
> A good example on emerging use is websocket+stomp 
> (http://jmesnil.net/stomp-websocket/doc/, 
> http://www.nighttale.net/activemq/activemq-54-stomp-over-web-sockets.html)
> so I believe hc should support websocket clients.
