Websocat has -k option to turn off checking of SSL certificate. As alternative (or when using older versions of Websocat) you can use external programs to provide SSL for websocat.
With socat:
$ websocat -t --ws-c-uri=wss://echo.websocket.org/ - ws-c:cmd:'socat - ssl:echo.websocket.org:443,verify=0'

Suppose there is WebSocket server which replies exactly one WebSocket text message for each received WebSocket request.
You want to have a persistent WebSocket client connection to that server and issue multiple requests from a script.
You can do something like this:
$ websocat -t -E tcp-l:127.0.0.1:1234 reuse-raw:ws://echo.websocket.org --max-messages-rev 1&
[1] 864
$ WS_PID=$!
$ echo 'Hello 1' | nc 127.0.0.1 1234
Hello 1
$ echo 'World 2' | nc 127.0.0.1 1234
World 2
$ kill $WS_PID
This scheme is unfortunately unreliable: if client is disconnected before it can receive a message, the message can get delivered to next connected client.
Usual proxy_pass is not enough.
You need something like this:
location /mywebsocket {
proxy_read_timeout 1d;
proxy_send_timeout 1d;
proxy_pass http://localhost:8123;
#proxy_pass http://unix:/tmp/unixsocket_websocat;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}
If you want to log information that is passing though Websocat to console, you can use log: filter (overlay).
This allows inspecting traffic at various levels. For Websocat versions earlier than 1.7, you can use ws-c:cmd: trick instead.
Example sessions:
