Research direction

Start by reviewing the server-side upgrade support referenced in #190 and the existing client streaming APIs. Determine how HTTP upgrade headers and a DuplexStreamInterface-based client API should fit together. Done means the client can negotiate WebSocket or similar upgrades without being limited to a ReadableStreamInterface.

Description

help wanted HTTP/1.1 new feature

This library should provide support for HTTP upgrades (WebSocket etc.) using the Connection: upgrade and Upgrade: websocket headers.

This is already supported on the server-side (see #190), so adding support for this on the client-side should be reasonable. This will likely require a dedicated API as the existing streaming APIs only expose a ReadableStreamInterface and the upgraded stream would have to be a DuplexStreamInterface.
