A WebSocket session begins when a client sends the HTTP/1.1 [@https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-6.7 Upgrade] request for [@https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455#section-1.3 WebSocket] on an established connection, and the server sends an appropriate response indicating that the request was accepted and that the connection has been upgraded. The Upgrade request must include the [@https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-5.4 Host] field, and the [@https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-5.3 target] of the resource to request. A typical HTTP Upgrade request created and sent by the implementation will look like this:

The host and target parameters become part of the Host field and request-target in the resulting HTTP request. The key is generated by the implementation. Callers who wish to add, modify, or inspect fields may set the ['decorator] option on the stream (described later).

When a client receives an HTTP Upgrade response from the server indicating a successful upgrade, the caller may wish to perform additional validation on the received HTTP response message. For example, to check that the response to a basic authentication challenge is valid. To achieve this, overloads of the handshake member function allow the caller to store the received HTTP message in an output reference argument of type [link beast.ref.boost__beast__websocket__response_type `response_type`] as follows:

For servers accepting incoming connections, the [link beast.ref.boost__beast__websocket__stream `websocket::stream`] can read the incoming upgrade request and automatically reply. If the handshake meets the requirements, the stream sends back the upgrade response with a [@https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455#section-4.2.2 ['101 Switching Protocols]] status code. If the handshake does not meet the requirements, or falls outside the range of allowed parameters specified by stream options set previously by the caller, the stream sends back an HTTP response with a status code indicating an error. Depending on the keep alive setting, the connection may remain open for a subsequent handshake attempt. A typical HTTP Upgrade response created and sent by the implementation upon receiving an upgrade request handshake will look like this:

When implementing an HTTP server that also supports WebSocket, the server usually reads the HTTP request from the client. To detect when the incoming HTTP request is a WebSocket Upgrade request, the function [link beast.ref.boost__beast__websocket__is_upgrade `is_upgrade`] may be used.

The WebSocket protocol understands the concept of subprotocols. If the client is requesting one of a set of subprotocols it will set the header [@https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455#section-11.3.4 Sec-WebSocket-Protocol] in the initial WebSocket Upgrade HTTP request. It is up to the server to parse the header and select one of the protocols to accept. The server indicates the selected protocol by setting the [@https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455#section-11.3.4 Sec-WebSocket-Protocol] header in the accept header.
