Ortwin Gl=C3=BCck commented on HTTPCORE-158:
---------------------------------------

It should be noted though, than the Upgrade handshake is not limited to pro=
xies. It can be used on any HTTP connection. It's like the STARTTLS command=
 in SMTP.

> Presently HttpCore provides support for HTTP CONNECT method for establish=
ing end-to-end tunnels across HTTP proxies as specified in the RFC 2817. Ho=
wever, HttpCore currently does not support 'Upgrade' / 101 (Switching Proto=
cols) handshaking, which does not seem as widely used by the common HTTP ag=
ents and servers as HTTP CONNECT.=20
> Adding support for upgrading plain connections to TLS will require signif=
icant amount of work and is likely to call for non-trivial changes to the e=
xisting protocol handlers.=20
> We currently have no resources within the project to assign to this task,=
 but will gladly assist an external contributor willing to work on adding s=
upport for 'Upgrade' / 101 (Switching Protocols) handshaking to HttpCore. T=
his may also be a good topic for a Google Summer of Code project or a simil=
ar program.
