Hi there.

How can I do for the title?

URLRequest seems not to have property for protocols.

NSURLSessionWebSocketTask seems to have either URLRequest or protocols, but have neither of them.

What I want to do is setting both protocols and headers when using WebSocket.

Should I use Network.framework instead?

Yes. That is, in fact, the advice we give in TN3151 Choosing the right networking API.

Creating a WebSocketTask with protocols is just a convenience for setting the Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header field on the request. If you use the request based method, you can manually set the header field.
