WebSocketProvider - full control over the socket

[safead]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

While using WebSocketProvider I have no idea how to control the websocket behaviour. WebSocketProvider._websocket has limited properties and methods comparing to regular WebSocket, so I can't terminate the connection in case of internet connectivity problems and re-connect when it is alive etc. More than this, I have no idea how to normally disconnect provider when no connection is required in the app.

Describe the solution you'd like
Let us full control over the provider socket to create custom re-connection logic, terminating (closing) the alive connection etc.

Additional context
The websocket limited properties (no "on", "close" and "terminate" methods):

I've recently thought about it and posted this comment on the related issue. As a workaround, you can see what I did.

See #2644.

This should now be available in v5.6. You can now pass a WebSocket directly into a WebSocketProvider, so you can configure it however you wish.

Try it out and let me know if it works for you. :)

This was added, so I'll close it. Please re-open or create a new issue if there are any problems.

Thanks! :)
