How to launch a websocket server?

[spiffytech]

I'd like to launch a websocket server on my backend to handle real-time features for my app.

I also need to intercept the HTTP request that initiates a websocket upgrade so I can process the user's auth cookie before allowing the connection upgrade.

How can I do this in SolidStart?

There is a with-websocket example - perhaps start there to see if it helps to get you going?

I've tried to piece together what's happening in that project, but I can't get it to work. If I npm init solid using the with-websocket template, DevTools shows the websocket request stays pending and never sends/receives messages. If I try reimplementing the important bits in a clean project, I see the same behavior.

I got the same issue, even when I clone the example project.
