Research direction

The issue mentions WebSocket being manually disabled and the lack of automatic protocol fallback, but names no files or tests. Start by locating the WebSocket and protocol-selection paths, then define how detection and fallback should behave for old proxies before implementing and testing the result.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement P0 triaged

Web Socket is manually switched off for a few reasons:

  • Old proxy do not support WS
  • No automatic protocol fallback

So to be safe, people prefer to switch off WS for enterprise scenario.

If we implemented automatic protocol switch, people are less likely switching off WS.
