Is there any way to send a redirect in response to a websocket request?

Tbh I don't know - is it even possible with the underlying API?

I'm currently using Netty.  I know the RFC allows for redirects, and I'm sure Netty could be configured to do it via the channel handler.  I was just wondering if http4k had any support for it; I don't think I want to go into the Netty internals.

Yeah - there isn't a way of doing it from the current API. Looking at jetty, it's not even in their API...

I'll find a workaround.  I need to do a crude form of WS load balancing in a situation where the amount of load would make an AWS Network LB cost prohibitive.

I figured if I could get a load-balanced WS server to redirect to the final host, I'd be good to go.  I may instead require the clients to ask an HTTP API for the final WS URI.  I don't think DNS load balancing would be a great fit.  But this is all out of scope for http4k of course.
