Description

The WebSocket constructor required ws: and was: URLs for the longest time, preventing folks from using relative URLs. Which in turn led to a lot of clunky code trying to work around that.

This has been recently resolved in whatwg/websockets#45 and quickly adopted by WebKit, but hasn't made its way to other engines yet. Perhaps Interop 2024 can help?
