101Switching Protocols

101

服务器应客户端升级协议的请求 Upgrade 请求头正在切换协议。服务器会发送一个 Upgrade 响应头来表明其正在切换过去的协议。

The server understands and is willing to comply with the client's request, via the Upgrade header field1, for a change in the application protocol being used on this connection.

The server MUST generate an Upgrade header field in the response that indicates which protocol(s) will be switched to immediately after the empty line that terminates the 101 response.

It is assumed that the server will only agree to switch protocols when it is advantageous to do so. For example, switching to a newer version of HTTP might be advantageous over older versions, and switching to a real-time, synchronous protocol might be advantageous when delivering resources that use such features.
