Connect through an existing stream? about websocket-stream HOT 3 CLOSED

Ah, so you have a WebSocket instance already and want to pass it into the
websocket-stream constructor? The way the code is written it only works
like that for server-side WebSocket objects (via the ws npm package).
Instead of the two states (is object or not) there would have to be 3:

• is it a string? if so make a new WebSocket
• is it a client side websocket? if so bind these:

• is it a sever side websocket? if so bind these
  https://github.com/maxogden/websocket-stream/blob/master/index.js#L9-L13

If you wanna fork it I'd happily merge this pull request

I'm trying to connect to a websocket server through an existing ssh streamhttps://github.com/mscdex/ssh2.
Client and server are both running node but one is on a remote server only
accessible through ssh (via port forwarding).

Can the initial connection happen over an existing stream while still
capturing a reference to it?

The stream instance I have initially is an ssh tunnel setup via ssh2. Seems like I would need to establish the websocket connection inside the existing ssh stream and then pipe all further data from the websocket stream to the ssh stream.

I'm just unsure how to establish the websocket connection over the existing ssh stream.... Any ideas, seems different than if I had an existing websocket instance.

I was thinking of writing the websocket connection request header into the existing stream and then creating a websocket instance from the response that I get back from the server. But it doesn't seem like websockets allow for that...

Ahh yea I have no idea about that, I've never used ssh2 in the browser
