The use of await when handling the "initially" WebSocket message may cause incoming messages to be lost. Event handlers like `ws.on('message', ...)` may not get installed until after the asynchronous method completes, so any WebSocket events during that time period aren't handled.
Fixes rse#20

Yes, correct: the "await" for the initial injected HTTP message might need more time than the arrival of the first Websocket message. But the solution is not such easy as to just use a promise callback instead, because the authorization has to be checked by the initial simulated HTTP request before a Websocket message should be processed. I've to look what the more correct solution is to resolve your issue and NOT cause a security issue. |
WebSocket messages should not be processed until `initially` has finished and has a chance to optionally close the connection completely. Disconnects and protocol-level errors are processed regardless - these occur at a lower level and should be preserved for consistency with connects.

@rse Thank you for pointing that out. I just pushed a potential fix. |
