WebSocket messages being truncated to 4096 bytes

xx | Last updated: Dec 21, 2022 02:23PM UTC

Hello! I'm using websocket handlers in my extension, and all binary messages (passed to me as bytearrays) I receive are truncated to 4096 bytes. Obviously this breaks functionality in my extension when the server sends messages larger than that. Both `message.length()` and `message.bytes.size` return 4096 (provided code in Kotlin). As a side note, how would one send binary messages? There is a `sendTextMessage()` that accepts a String value, but no binary equivalent for bytearrays.

Thanks for taking the time to report these issues. We've raised a bug regarding the messages being truncated and a feature request to look at handling binary messages. We'll discuss these further with the team in the new year and will post back here when there are any updates.
