why?

The way websockets work is by first sending a http GET request to the provided endpoint, which can then be upgraded by the server if the

upgrade: websocket

header is sent - along with some other websocket-related headers

so how might i handle that on the server side?

here's an example for a worker: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/examples/websockets/

actually i think i might need some code

take a look at the tutorial I linked above, it has a complete example

yeah i tried implementing that but it didnt like it

@thatbeanlady here's a working example of something I started putting together a while back but stopped: https://github.com/nora-soderlund/CortexGameService
