> In this commit, you removed the plain WebSockets support in pjsip:
> https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk/commit/75ebd8f0d2cdd146ab071391334ec7106ff29e94
> Your justification in your commit is: "Firefox and Chrome do not support anything other than secure websockets anymore."
> It's true, however, at least to us, we have a valid use case to have plain WebSocket: To share the same HTTPS port with our APIs, we have a HAProxy to handle TLS, take care about crappy TCP connections, and depends on the URL, redirect the HTTP request to the right server.
> We keep the internal traffic in HTTP instead of HTTPS to reduce the CPU usage, and mainly to capture easily for debugging purposes.
> To my knowledge, at least Kazoo does also like that, and it's a pattern used a lot in the Web world with HAProxy.
> Could you keep unencrypted WebSockets in pjsip ?
> Thank you a lot.
