[🐛 Bug]: Selenium 4 WebSocket exception during performing basic authorization C#

What happened?

Hello, currently we are under investigation of the possibility to use Selenium 4 on our project and we are faced with the next issue: During performing the basic authorization, authorization is passing successfully but at the same time we have the next exception

There is already one outstanding 'SendAsync' call for this WebSocket instance. ReceiveAsync and SendAsync can be called simultaneously, but at most one outstanding operation for each of them is allowed at the same time.

Could you please take a look at this issue?

How can we reproduce the issue?

static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var options = new ChromeOptions();

            var driver = new ChromeDriver(ChromeDriverService.CreateDefaultService(), options, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2));


            NetworkAuthenticationHandler handler = new NetworkAuthenticationHandler()
            {
                UriMatcher = d => d.Host.Contains("jigsaw.w3.org"),
                Credentials = new PasswordCredentials("guest", "guest")
            };

            var networkInterceptor = driver.Manage().Network;
            networkInterceptor.AddAuthenticationHandler(handler);
            networkInterceptor.StartMonitoring();

            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/Basic/");

            networkInterceptor.StopMonitoring();
            driver.Quit();
        }

Can you try the same experiment using .NET 5 as the framework version to see if it’s an issue inside .NET? That’s not a solution, or even a workaround, I’m just trying to gather appropriate data.

@jimevans Yes, you are correct, this code does work with .NET Core 5, but does not work with .NET Framework 4.7.2.
