44 This initiating function is used to asynchronously begin performing the
45 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSocket#Protocol_handshake" target="_top">WebSocket
46 handshake</a>, required before messages can be sent and received.
47 During the handshake, the client sends the Websocket Upgrade HTTP request,
48 and the server replies with an HTTP response indicating the result of
49 the handshake. This call always returns immediately. The asynchronous
50 operation will continue until one of the following conditions is true:
52 <div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
54 The request is received and the response is sent.
61 The algorithm, known as a <span class="emphasis"><em>composed asynchronous operation</em></span>,
62 is implemented in terms of calls to the next layer's <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">async_read_some</span></code>
63 and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">async_write_some</span></code>
64 functions. No other operation may be performed on the stream until this
65 operation completes. If a valid upgrade request is received, an HTTP
66 response with a <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-3.1.2" target="_top">status-code</a>
67 of <a class="link" href="../../boost__beast__http__status.html" title="http::status"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">http</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">switching_protocols</span></code></a> is sent
68 to the peer, otherwise a non-successful error is associated with the
69 operation. If the request size exceeds the capacity of the stream's internal
70 buffer, the error <a class="link" href="../../boost__beast__websocket__error.html" title="websocket::error"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">websocket</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">buffer_overflow</span></code></a> will be indicated.
71 To handle larger requests, an application should read the HTTP request
72 directly using <a class="link" href="../../boost__beast__http__async_read.html" title="http::async_read"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">http</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">async_read</span></code></a> and then pass the
73 request to the appropriate overload of <a class="link" href="../accept.html" title="websocket::stream::accept"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">websocket</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">stream</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">accept</span></code></a> or <a class="link" href="../async_accept.html" title="websocket::stream::async_accept"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">websocket</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">stream</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">async_accept</span></code></a>

102 The completion handler to invoke when the operation completes.
103 The implementation takes ownership of the handler by performing
104 a decay-copy. The equivalent function signature of the handler

112 Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes
113 immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within
114 this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed
115 in a manner equivalent to using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">net</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">post</span></code>.
