It would probably need support from the JVM libraries before it
would be available to java programmers.   Potentially it could be
done with the current async SslEngine in java, but that's a difficult
beastie to deal with and even most infrastructure developers don't
go there.   But it strikes me as a reasonable optimization that
could be adopted over time.


The other idea I had on a similar RTT would be to allow the
101 response for an upgrade to contain a body.

This a browser could send

   GET /somethingUseful/andThenUpgrade
   Upgrade: WebSocket

and the response would return a useful entity, thus not wasting
a RT, and then upgrade after the response body.

Unfortunately I think this goes beyond the charter of
the current HTTPbis working group.
