This bug doesn't affect 1.8.1.2 as stated above, but the latest release isn't listed.
ย
The commands /connect or /wsserver are listed in the command-list (available when typing "help 2" or "help 17") in the BDS terminal, but they don't seem to do anything.
As an OP'ed player on a server with cheats enabled, the commands don't even show up in the chat window. When trying to run the command(s) in-game anyway, a message appears that says:
"Unknown command: wsserver. Please check that the command exists and that you have permission to use it." (this happens regardless of typing /connect or /wsserver).
At this point I'm not sure if this even a bug or maybe intentional.
Being able to use Websockets on a server would be incredibly useful, especially for things that aren't achievable through the Scripting API (yet?), like getting the coordinates from players and displaying them on a clan website (for example) or creating Discord chatbots. However, I know this isn't the feature-request section ๐!
Also, it is already implemented and works when using it in a singleplayer or LAN-Game, but just doesn't work on BDS hosted servers.

I know im late, but ill respond anyway. It's no bug since only the owner (wich in this case is the console) has access to /connect.

Thank you for your report!

Hello, this is still an issue. How is it possible that such a useful tool still doesn't work after 3 years being reported? How can it be that if someone wants full funtionality they need to go check unoffical versions? Please reslove this issue, because as for now it makes very little sense to use bds instead of any of the unoffical versions.
