Enumerations

enum WriteMode:

• WRITE_MODE_TEXT = 0 —- Specifies that WebSockets messages should be transferred as text payload (only valid UTF-8 is allowed).
• WRITE_MODE_BINARY = 1 —- Specifies that WebSockets messages should be transferred as binary payload (any byte combination is allowed).

Method Descriptions

• void close ( int code=1000, String reason=”” )

Closes this WebSocket connection. code is the status code for the closure (see RFC 6455 section 7.4 for a list of valid status codes). reason is the human readable reason for closing the connection (can be any UTF-8 string that’s smaller than 123 bytes).

Note: To achieve a clean close, you will need to keep polling until either WebSocketClient.connection_closed or WebSocketServer.client_disconnected is received.

Note: The HTML5 export might not support all status codes. Please refer to browser-specific documentation for more details.
