getting the reason why websockets closed with close code 1006

Question

I would like to get the reason websockets closed  so I can show the right message to the user   I have  sok onerror function  evt           since there is an error  sockets will close so           sok onclose function e              console log  WebSocket Error      e      The code is always 1006 and the reason is always      But I want to tell different closing reasons apart   For example the comand line gives an error reason    you cannot delete that  because database wont let you   But on Chrome s console  the reason is still        Any other way to tell different closing reasons apart

It looks like this is the case when Chrome is not compliant with WebSocket standard. When the server initiates close and sends close frame to a client, Chrome considers this to be an error and reports it to JS side with code 1006 and no reason message. In my tests, Chrome never responds to server-initiated close frames (close code 1000) suggesting that code 1006 probably means that Chrome is reporting its own internal error.

P.S. Firefox v57.00 handles this case properly and successfully delivers server's reason message to JS side.

Close Code 1006 is a special code that means the connection was closed abnormally  locally  by the browser implementation   If your browser client reports close code 1006  then you should be looking at the websocket onerror evt  event for details   However   Chrome will rarely report any close code 1006 reasons to the Javascript side  This is likely due to client security rules in the WebSocket spec to prevent abusing WebSocket   such as using it to scan for open ports on a destination server  or for generating lots of connections for a denial-of-service attack    Note that Chrome will often report a close code 1006 if there is an error during the HTTP Upgrade to Websocket  this is the step before a WebSocket is technically  connected     For reasons such as bad authentication or authorization  or bad protocol use  such as requesting a subprotocol  but the server itself doesn t support that same subprotocol   or even an attempt at talking to a server location that isn t a WebSocket  such as attempting to connect to ws   images google com    Fundamentally  if you see a close code 1006  you have a very low level error with WebSocket itself  similar to  Unable to Open File  or  Socket Error    not really meant for the user  as it points to a low level issue with your code and implementation   Fix your low level issues  and then when you are connected  you can then include more reasonable error codes   You can accomplish this in terms of scope or severity in your project   Example  info and warning level are part of your project s specific protocol  and don t cause the connection to terminate   With severe or fatal messages reporting also using your project s protocol to convey as much detail as you want  and then closing the connection using the limited abilities of the WebSocket close flow   Be aware that WebSocket close codes are very strictly defined  and the close reason phrase message cannot exceed 123 characters in length  this is an intentional WebSocket limitation    But not all is lost  if you are just wanting this information for debugging reasons  the detail of the closure  and its underlying reason is often reported with a fair amount of detail in Chrome s Javascript console
