Using more than one Sec-WebSocket-Extension header in a request is permitted; the result is the same as if you included all of the listed extensions in one such header.\n\nextensions : A comma-separated list of extensions to request (or agree to support). These should be selected from the IANA WebSocket Extension Name Registry. Extensions which take parameters do so by using semicolon delineation.\n\nFor example, this header indicates two custom extensions: superspeed and colormode (which additionally has the parameter depth=16)\n\nAttribution: Adapted from MDN Web Docs under CC-BY-SA-2.5.
