I'm using stomp.js over SockJS in my javascript client. I'm connecting to websocket using

stompClient.connect({}, function (frame) {

stomp over sockJS connection has 2 http requests:

  1. request to /info
  2. http upgrade request

the client sends all cookies. I would like to also send custom headers (e.g. XSRF header) but didn't find a way to do that. Will appreciate any help.

@Rohitdev So basically you can't send any HTTP headers using stompClient, because STOMP is layer over websockets, and only when websockets handshake happen we have possibility to send custom headers. So only SockJS can send this headers, but for some reasons don't do this: https://github.com/sockjs/sockjs-client/issues/196
