[Question] Use-cases for HTTP Handler methods

[Cheddah]

Hello,

This may be due to my lack of understanding of how WebSockets work, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask: why does one need TemplatedApp methods outside of TemplatedApp::ws? To my understanding, once you use ws, you've successfully established a websocket connection, and the client wouldn't (or shouldn't) be sending HTTP requests to your server. So wouldn't the event handlers that you specify (via WebSocketBehavior) be all you need?

In other words, if you're relying on HTTP method handlers, doesn't that imply that you're not using WebSockets? Please let me know if my understanding is correct.

Thanks in advance :)

I don't mean to come off as facetious; I just want to verify my understanding of websockets with how this library should work 👍

The answer was in the first sentence of the README that I glossed over:

Think of it as a complete replacement to both Express.js...

With that context in mind, I understand now.
