Description

Ktor Version

1.2.1

Ktor Engine Used(client or server and name)

client-websocket

JVM Version, Operating System and Relevant Context

Feedback

I tried to consume a websocket server with the ktor-client-websocket but it didn't work. It turned out, that the server uses Stomp. It would be nice to support Stomp for the Websocket Client as well here with Ktor. (I was forced to use Spring Websocket as client library).
