Using `Hijack` to support `coder/websocket`?

[SolomonSklash]

Hello,

I am trying to replace fastHTTP/websocket with coder/websocket, as it has some features I need.

Currently I use the fastHTTP/websocket upgrader like so:

func websocketUpgradeHandler(ctx *fasthttp.RequestCtx) {
	logger.Infof("Received WS request on %s", string(ctx.Path()))

	// Upgrade the connection to a websocket.
	err := websockets.Upgrader.Upgrade(ctx, func(conn *websocket.Conn) {
		// Create a new WS connection object and give it the new WS connection.
		wsConnection := &websockets.WSConnection{Conn: conn}

		// Start the inbound WS worker goroutine.
		wsConnection.WSInboundWorker()
	})
	if err != nil {
		logger.Errorf("Failed to upgrade WS connection: %s", err)
	}
}

There is a coder/websocket issue that says this is possible, via the ctx.Hijack. From what I can tell, ctx.Hijack simply exposes the underlying net.Conn. But I am unsure how to use this in conjunction with coder/websocket.

Thanks for any help!

In theory I guess it should be possible, but I have never seen it. It requires a http.ResponseWriter and http.Request as arguments. You can try to use use fasthttpadaptor.ConvertReques() to create the http.Request, but you'll have to write your own code to convert it to a http.ResponseWriter as well.
