Can you connect roblox to a websocket?

Would it be possible to connect to a websocket with roblox? I don't need directly, like say GetAsync my website with the javascript websocket, but it doesn't keep the connection. If you wanna know what I'm using this for it is a "Roblox hosted discord bot" I've already got a working version and it does what I need it to, but a way to do some type of connection with a websocket or someting would boost this a lot.

Here is the "websocket" connection I attempted

local http = game:GetService("HttpService")
spawn(function()
while wait(3) do
http:GetAsync("private_url")
end
end)

The reason that failed is because of two reasons

1. For the bot to stay online/etc it'd have to be constant connection
2. I have to wait 1-2 seconds until I can connect to the websocket

try this

local http = game:GetService("HttpService")

spawn(function()
	local maxReqPerSec = 3
	while this.alive == true do
		local tm = tick()
		http:GetAsync("your_url")
		local dur = (tick() - tm)
		local waitTime = math.max(0,((1/maxReqPerSec) - dur))
		wait(waitTime)
	end
end)
