This change advances the websocket-to-HTTP/2 transition by making streaming connections default to HTTP/2 where supported, without changing the public streaming APIs (exec, attach, portforward). It keeps the current transport surface intact while shifting protocol preference to HTTP/2.

  • Transport default update

    • WebSocketBuilder now sets ClientWebSocketOptions.HttpVersion to 2.0 on NET5_0_OR_GREATER.
    • This applies to existing streaming call paths that use WebSocketBuilder (including pod exec/attach/port-forward).
  • Focused behavioral coverage

    • Added a targeted unit test in KubernetesExecTests (for NET5_0_OR_GREATER) asserting the builder defaults to HTTP/2.
public WebSocketBuilder()
{
#if NET5_0_OR_GREATER
    Options.HttpVersion = HttpVersion.Version20;
#endif
}

@copilot Could you please remove all websocket api, replace with http2 streaming? e.g. exec

@copilot Could you please remove all websocket api, replace with http2 streaming? e.g. exec

I can do this, but to fully remove websocket APIs and switch exec/attach/port-forward to true HTTP/2 bidirectional streaming, this PR needs a broader breaking API refactor (IKubernetes surface + demuxer transport + tests/examples). Please confirm which scope you want in this PR: (1) breaking removal of websocket APIs now, or (2) add new HTTP/2 streaming APIs first and deprecate websocket APIs for one release.
