Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In the project I'm working on we use a reverse proxy to connect to a socket.io server, however this requires a header to be sent. With Hoppscotch I can't send headers along with websocket requests.

Describe the solution you'd like
Ability to send headers along with websocket requests, just like the regular REST requests.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Not really seeing any alternatives. Is Hoppscotch being actively worked on or do I have better luck creating a pull request myself?

Additional context
I love Hoppscotch, it's exactly what I've been looking for. Obviously still under development but I love the fact that there's a REST client that support websockets, so I don't have to write scrappy html pages to test websocket connections 😅

[DUPLICATE]

We had a detailed discussion on this feature in #933 - https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/933#issuecomment-722711714

but I guess this feature is being requested over and over again. Re-opening PR #1228.

Edit: no native support for sending header along with WebSocket. Reconsidering using a node package for this.
