An OutgoingContent response object that could be used to respond(): it will cause application engine to perform HTTP upgrade and start websocket RAW session.

Please note that you generally shouldn't use this object directly but use WebSockets feature with routing builders webSocket instead.

Parameters

call

that is starting web socket session

protocol

web socket negotiated protocol name (optional)

installExtensions

specifies if WebSocket extensions should be installed in current session.

handle
