This subprotocol does not exist in the WebSocket specification. In fact it has never existed in the spec, in one of the very early drafts of WebSockets it was briefly mentioned but it never made it to a final version. + +When the WebSocket server requires a non-standard subprotocol any WebSocket client that works correctly won't be able to connect. + +One example of such a client is noVNC, it tells the server that it doesn't want to use any subprotocol.
