Looking in WebSocket protocol close codes definitions
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455#section-7.4.1
I wonder about codes
1003 indicates that an endpoint is terminating the connection
because it has received a type of data it cannot accept (e.g., an
endpoint that understands only text data MAY send this if it
receives a binary message).
1008 indicates that an endpoint is terminating the connection
because it has received a message that violates its policy. This
is a generic status code that can be returned when there is no
other more suitable status code (e.g., 1003 or 1009) or if there
is a need to hide specific details about the policy.
1009 indicates that an endpoint is terminating the connection
because it has received a message that is too big for it to
process.
Those are/maybe application level codes (generic one). E.g. your WS
implementation supports
To my understanding, these codes are used by browser and server layer.
For example, 1003 may mean the browser doesn't support binary type frames
in its WebSocket protocol stack.
Meaning of application level binary support will depend on application level
subprotocols. You may want to define application level close code in
the range 3000 to 4999 to notify that client doesn't support some
kinds of features.
Or you can define some feature negotiating frameworks over your subprotocols.
Application level error code could be useful for server side
application handler.
In this case, it doesn't matter if the server side protocol stack
itself understand
these application level codes.
both text and binary types (in browser), but your application expects only
text messages (1003).
Client (application) expects first message from server to contain specific
information, but server fails to provide (1008).
Client (application) have requested certain data, e.g. part of a file, but
data received from server are bigger than requested.
Application level codes (3000-4999) does not apply here, because in my
previous examples shows, that server
simply did not understand the application protocol in a first place, so it
makes no sense for client to send
application level close codes to server - those codes would have no meaning
there.
