Research direction

Start by reviewing the Bot Framework Emulator's built-in Direct Line Controller and the referenced InDirectLine and offline-directline implementations. Compare their support for Direct Line App Service Extensions and WebSocket, then clarify the scope and acceptance criteria for an officially supported offline implementation.

Description

feature-request

If you have industry standards that prohibit Ngrok this can make debugging a nightmare.

The Bot Framework Emulator has a built in Direct Line Controller. Why is this not open source for use with webchat? There are a few brave souls who have attempted to build emulators however both do not support Direct Line App Service Extensions and WebSocket.

Microsoft should support offline-directline implementations officially.
