I'm struggling to get the netty example websocket client working. I've compiled successfully with 4.0.0.Alpha8, but when I try to connect to a server (also a netty example) I get:

Exception in thread "main" io.netty.handler.codec.http.websocketx.WebSocketHandshakeException: Invalid handshake response upgrade: websocket
    at io.netty.handler.codec.http.websocketx.WebSocketClientHandshaker13.finishHandshake(WebSocketClientHandshaker13.java:204)

which makes no sense to me whatsoever, given that this piece of code reads:

    String upgrade = response.getHeader(Names.UPGRADE);
    if (!Values.WEBSOCKET.equalsIgnoreCase(upgrade)) {
        throw new WebSocketHandshakeException("Invalid handshake response upgrade: "
                + response.getHeader(Names.UPGRADE));
    }

And as the message in the exception demonstrates, the Upgrade header does contain websocket as expected.

Any idea what's going on?
