need a real usage example

[kneufeld]

I just wasted a good hour because I had http://localhost:8000/ws as the websocket_url instead of ws://localhost:8000/ws. Yes I know that's on me but having usage examples are absolutely key for any project.

Hi @kneufeld - what behavior did you encounter when using http:// instead of ws://?

Additionally, I'm always open to PRs. Since you've found an edge here in terms of usability, you're the best person to propose a change that would ensure others don't run into the same problem that you did.

Thanks!

@Fitblip, I've prepared a real usage example in the description at README.md and wanted to push the branch to create a PR, but apparently, I don't have correct access rights:

ERROR: Permission to Fitblip/wsstat.git denied to skamieniarz.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights

Upgrade and Connection headers are not sent if I use http:// as protocol. They are only send if I use ws://. I'm not sure if this is the correct behaviour since I'm new to websockets.

Ok, so it sounds like the real issue here is that we're not erroring out if you specify non-ws protocols (namely http://), which is for some reason attempted by the websocket library we're using.

When I get time I'll fix it, or if one of you wants to tackle it PRs are always welcome!

Also @skamieniarz - you don't have permissions to this repository due to how Github works. If you want to submit a pull request you need to fork this repo and submit a PR from your fork.

Thanks!
