Description

Continuation of akka/akka#18709 We currently do not support websocket extensions (i.e. registering "an extension" in the server, or requesting one in the client).

Currently we see no strong need to provide this functionality. If you have a strong use case for it, please comment here

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current WebSocket implementation in Akka HTTP, understand how extensions are defined in the WebSocket protocol, and propose a design for registering server extensions and client extensions. Provide a detailed example of a use case that would benefit from this feature.
