Research direction

Reproduce with the banterbus repository at commit 9bcd9d73690df9cd3fdcddafc4498a1428497210, run go run main.go, and submit “Create Room” from Firefox with htmx 2.0. Start by reading internal/transport/http.go and comparing it with the working gobwas/ws commit. Inspect the WebSocket network response to isolate the 1008 or RSV error; done means the cause is identified and the htmx reproduction works or has clear guidance.

Description

Hi,

I seem to be having issues using this library when using it htmx as the client, specifically version 2 of htmx. I am also testing this on Firefox (if browser may make a difference.
I tend to see either this error Connection Closed: 1008 unexpected data message or sometimes I see Invalid RSV bits ....

I am not sure how to debug what is going on. But I noticed there was another issue where someone getting similar errors in issue #339.

I tried using another library, https://github.com/gobwas/ws, and it seems to work with this library 🤔. See this commit here for an example where it works: https://gitlab.com/hmajid2301/banterbus/-/commit/a7501484832f51f430e83da1e39dacd01a0b6860.

See this commit here for a version with this library causing issues: https://gitlab.com/hmajid2301/banterbus/-/blob/9bcd9d73690df9cd3fdcddafc4498a1428497210/internal/transport/http.go

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help ❤️ .
