       - : A single string or an array of strings representing the sub-protocol(s) that the client would like to use, for example `"amqp"` or `"mqtt"`. Subprotocols may be selected from the [IANA WebSocket Subprotocol Name Registry](https://www.iana.org/assignments/websocket/websocket.xml#subprotocol-name) or may be custom names jointly understood by the client and the server. A single server can implement multiple WebSocket sub-protocols, and handle different types of interactions depending on the specified value. If it is omitted, an empty array is used by default. If `protocols` is included, the connection will only be established if the server reports that it has selected one of these sub-protocols.

This is primarily intended to help implement connection timeouts. As such, it does nothing after the connection is established.
