Netty Websockets

Question

We have a Netty Websocket based server for HTTP communication. On the client side we can not implement netty and have to rely on plain http client (using apache http client). Is is possible to have a frame based message communication from pure http client to Websocket based server ?

Regards

It doesn't look like Apache HTTP client supports websockets yet. https://issues.apache.org/jira/plugins/servlet/mobile#issue/httpclient-973

Perhaps you could use https://github.com/AsyncHttpClient/async-http-client ?
