(SQL Server) WebSocket over TLS

Establishing a WebSocket connection over TLS is exactly the same as for TCP, except for a few arguments passed to the Connect method.

    -- --------------------------------------------------
    -- A WebSocket connection begins life as an HTTP GET request containing a few special header fields,
    -- such as "Upgrade: websocket".   

    -- Your application will use the Chilkat Rest class to send the initial HTTP GET.  This allows you
    -- to use the full capability of the Chilkat Rest class to customize the GET for any particular situation.
    -- For example:
    -- 
    --   - If custom HTTP request header fields must be added.
    --   - If authentication is required, such as OAuth2, OAuth1, Basic HTTP Auth, etc.
    --   - If HTTPS, SSH Tunneling, Proxies (HTTP or SOCKS), or other advanced connection or TLS features are required.
