+<p>This chapter describes how to use the Gun client for communicating with a Websocket server.</p>
+<!-- @todo recovering from connection failure, reconnecting to Websocket etc.-->
+<h2 id="_http_upgrade">HTTP upgrade</h2>
+<p>Websocket is a protocol built on top of HTTP. To use Websocket, you must first request for the connection to be upgraded. Only HTTP/1.1 connections can be upgraded to Websocket, so you might need to restrict the protocol to HTTP/1.1 if you are planning to use Websocket over TLS.</p>
+<p>You must use the <code>gun:ws_upgrade/2,3,4</code> function to upgrade to Websocket. This function can be called anytime after connection, so you can send HTTP requests before upgrading to Websocket.</p>

+<p>Gun will set all the necessary headers for performing the Websocket upgrade, but you can specify additional headers if needed. For example you can authenticate.</p>

+<p>You can pass the Websocket options as part of the <code>gun:open/2,3</code> call when opening the connection, or using the <code>gun:ws_upgrade/4</code>. The fourth argument is those same options.</p>
+<p>Gun can negotiate the protocol to be used for the Websocket connection. The <code>protocols</code> option can be given with a list of protocols accepted and the corresponding handler module. Note that the interface for handler modules is currently undocumented and must be set to <code>gun_ws_h</code>.</p>

+<p>The upgrade will fail if the server cannot satisfy the protocol negotiation.</p>
+<p>When the upgrade succeeds, a <code>gun_upgrade</code> message is sent. If the server does not understand Websocket or refused the upgrade, a <code>gun_response</code> message is sent. If Gun couldn&apos;t perform the upgrade due to an error (for example attempting to upgrade to Websocket on an HTTP/1.0 connection) then a <code>gun_error</code> message is sent.</p>
+<p>When the server does not understand Websocket, it may send a meaningful response which should be processed. In the following example we however ignore it:</p>
