Description Adrian Bateman [MSFT] 2011-06-08 17:24:56 UTC 
The WebSocket protocol only supports reason strings which once encoded as UTF-8 are up to 123 bytes long. The API should specify what to do if the string is too long once encoded. Our preference is to throw a SYNTAX_ERR.
Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-06-21 22:53:56 UTC 
Done.
Comment 2 contributor 2011-06-21 22:54:32 UTC 
Checked in as WHATWG revision r6269.
Check-in comment: Prevent API from sending too much data to the protocol for the close frame.
