IIUC, BWTP and Websocket are not really comparable, and the Websocket
API is only designed to work with the Websocket protocol (BWTP
supports metadata in every &quot;message&quot; for instance, which the Websocket
API wouldn't expose).

&gt;<i> Is this controlled by the &quot;protocol&quot; constructor argument?
</I>
This argument will populate the &quot;subprotocol name&quot; of the Websocket
handshake, it's not meant to switch to BWTP or other bidirectional
protocols.
