Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by tracing how WebSocket subclass instances are created and how request.wsgi_environ is passed, then determine whether the requested credential-passing behavior can be supported. Done means there is a documented or implemented way to provide credentials without resending them.

Description

enhancement feature question

Hi,
I have a problem, and I cannot find this information anywhere in the documentation.
I need to pass credentials into each WebSocket subclass instance, and I can find out how to.

It doesn't seem to be possible to read anything useful from the request.wsgi_environ being passed
I am not sure I understand why the request itself isn't being passed instead? self.environ isn't being used anywhere by the WebSocket itself as far as I can see, so there should be no problems with sending the request instead.

Either that, or is there a way to cut in and be the one that instantiates my web socket descendant?

Because it would seem as an unnecessary round trip to having to resend the credentials again.
