Root URL without trailing slash leads to %WebSockex.ConnError{original: :closed})

How to reproduce

WebSockex.start_link("ws://localhost", __MODULE__, nil) Error: reason: %WebSockex.ConnError{original: :closed}

Expected behaviour

The connection should be established with and without a trailing slash.

This works: WebSockex.start_link("ws://localhost", ... This works: WebSockex.start_link("ws://localhost/not-root", ...

Remarks

Maybe this is an issue of my websocket server, rather than the WebSockex client?

However, the connection can be established by a different websocket client (Firefox weasel plugin). Looking at the network trace of that plugin, it looks like it adds the trailing slash automatically in the HTTP request if it was not explicitly provided. Could that be a sensible approach for WebSockex as well?

From a brief look at the weasel source I couldn't find any "add a trailing /" logic. Probably the browser adds / as the default path.
