How to use it

  2. Optionally send one text or base64 message. Sign in to send messages.
  3. Review handshake timing, received messages and the close code.

Limits & privacy

Captures up to 10 messages of 16 KiB over three seconds after connecting. No redirects. Private addresses are blocked. Access tokens are sent only as X-Access-Token over WSS.
