Research direction

Start by reviewing the websocket client implementation and its connection setup to determine where HTTP proxy handling would belong. Check how the client currently resolves and connects to websocket URLs, then compare the behavior with the proxy requirements described in the issue. Done means the client can connect through an HTTP proxy and has coverage or documented verification for that case.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The websocket client does not work behind a HTTP proxy. In a company network where all internet access needs to go through a HTTP proxy, the websocket client tries to resolve the IP address of the websocket URL and fails.

Is there any support for HTTP proxies in ws4py ?
Are there any solutions for this issue (other websocket libraries that support HTTP proxies) ?
