Websockets of any reference are implentations of HTTP

As parent said, they only implement HTTP for handshaking. Then you switch to the websocket protocol.

To quote websocket.org:

    The protocol switch from HTTP to WebSocket is referred to as
    a the WebSocket handshake. (...) The browser sends a request
    to the server, indicating that it wants to switch protocols from
    HTTP to WebSocket. (...) At this point the HTTP connection breaks
    down and is replaced by the WebSocket connection over the
    same underlying TCP/IP connection.
The rest of your post is just argument-free personal attacks, therefore I'll refrain from replying to it.
