HTTP headers in Websockets client API

Question

Looks like it\'s easy to add custom HTTP headers to your websocket client with any HTTP header client which supports this, but I can\'t find how to do it with the JSON API.

Answer 1

More of an alternate solution, but all modern browsers send the domain cookies along with the connection, so using:

var authToken = 'R3YKZFKBVi';

document.cookie = 'X-Authorization=' + authToken + '; path=/';

var ws = new WebSocket(
    'wss://localhost:9000/wss/'
);

End up with the request connection headers:

Cookie: X-Authorization=R3YKZFKBVi
