Since Android SDK build 1.1.0.16 it is possible to add custom HTTP headers while establishing Websocket connection to WCS server. To do this, use the following function

Session.connect(Connection connection, java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> customHeaders)

Suppose that Websocket traffic proxying with user authentication is configured on the server using nginx. In this case, user credentials should be passed in Websocket URL

wss://login:password@test.flashphoner.com/wss

Authorization HTTP header should be formed from Websocket URL as follows:

code

    private Map<String, String> getBasicAuthHeader(String url) {
        if (url.contains("@")) {
            String authorization = url.substring(url.indexOf(":")+3, url.indexOf("@"));
            String base64Auth = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(authorization.getBytes());
            String header = "Basic " + base64Auth;
            Map<String, String> basicAuthheader = new HashMap<>();
            basicAuthheader.put("Authorization", header);

            return basicAuthheader;
        }

        return null;
    }

and should be sent while connecting to the server

code

                    session.connect(new Connection(), getBasicAuthHeader(url));
