Hi, I do not understand what problem this PR is trying to solve. The code that makes the underlying HTTP request to obtain a ws/wss connection should be responsible for obtaining an HTTP proxy for that request. That's what the java.net.http implementation of websocket does, and I do not see a need for modifying the default proxy selector.
