Pls update this, the function: # Our WebSocketServer instance
var _server = WebSocketServer.new()

is no longer working and cant find the new one to use.

This document is really out of date.
Try using this project as an example:

Connecting to wss://echo.websocket.org does not seem to work anymore in with WebSocketPeer.

There's an issue tracking the documentation being outdated:

• Docs Minimal server example outdated on the Networking/WebSocket page. godot-docs#10031

That said, the service from echo.websocket.org is known to have regular downtime, although I can access it via HTTPS right now.

Can you try accessing wss://echo.websocket.org using a JavaScript client in a web browser (or another language) to see if it's a Godot-specific issue?

Hi! Same here.. Alternatively, does WebSocketPeer.new() work with rpc calls? WebSocketServer.new() and WebSocketClient.new() are not being recognised.

WebSocketMultiplayerPeer is what works with the high-level multiplayer API, so yes, it'll work with RPCs. For lower-level usage, you'll want to use WebSocketPeer in 4.x instead, which is the class that replaces WebSocketClient and WebSocketServer. It's analogous to PacketPeerUDP for UDP.

This page informations are incorrect, when i try to connect a external websocket server over golang. It returns header errors. But from browser client i can establish connection. Demo repo mentioned above is working. Someone should update this page at least try to test locally.

Websocketserver.new() can't work now, what's instead?
