Frequently Asked Questions

Q.Can I connect to wss:// secure endpoints?

Yes. Both ws:// and wss:// protocols are supported. Secure connections work as long as the server has a valid SSL certificate.

Q.Does it support custom headers?

Browser WebSocket API has limited header support. You can send authentication tokens as query parameters or in the first message payload.

Q.Is there a message size limit?

There is no client-side limit. The server may impose its own message size restrictions.
