Protocol upgrade mechanism — {{HTTPHeader("Sec-WebSocket-Accept")}}

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). Included in the response message from the server during the opening handshake process when the server is willing to initiate a WebSocket connection. It will appear no more than once in the response headers. hash : If a {{HTTPHeader("Sec-WebSocket-Key")}} header was provided, the value of this header is computed by taking the value of the key, concatenating the string "258EAFA5-E914-47DA-95CA-C5AB0DC85B11" to it, taking the SHA-1 hash of that concatenated string, resulting in a 20-byte value. That value is then base64 encoded to obtain the value of this property. Attribution: Adapted from MDN Web Docs under CC-BY-SA-2.5.
