43            This function is used to perform the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSocket#Protocol_handshake" target="_top">WebSocket
44            handshake</a>, required before messages can be sent and received.
45            During the handshake, the client sends the Websocket Upgrade HTTP request,
46            and the server replies with an HTTP response indicating the result of
47            the handshake. The call blocks until one of the following conditions
48            is true:

59            The algorithm, known as a <span class="emphasis"><em>composed operation</em></span>, is

61            and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">write_some</span></code> functions.
62            The handshake is successful if the received HTTP response indicates the
63            upgrade was accepted by the server, represented by a <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-3.1.2" target="_top">status-code</a>
