curl's websocket code did not update the 32 bit mask pattern
for each new outgoing frame as the specification says. Instead
it used a fixed mask that persisted and was used throughout
the entire connection.

A predictable mask pattern allows for a malicious server to induce
traffic between the two communicating parties that could be
interpreted by an involved proxy (configured or transparent) as
genuine, real, HTTP traffic with content and thereby poison its
cache. That cached poisoned content could then be served to all
users of that proxy.
