1581752 - Feature Request: Connect to Web Socket by GeckoWebExecutor

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(GeckoView :: General, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Alex Nevyantsev]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/76.0.3809.132 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I tried to using GeckoWebExecutor to make regular calls to REST API.

Actual results:

That work pretty well. Especially, I like a lot profiling tool which shows every call to the server. Profiling of the app with Firefox looks much easier to me than using of Charles (also I didn't find the way to make Charles work with Gecko).

Expected results:

I would like to see an API for woking with Web Sockets. Right now we are using OkHttp for connecting to Web Socket and Retrofit for making calls to REST API. It would be great if we could replace all this libraries by Gecko
