WebSocket 1006 Abnormal Closure vs 1009 Message Too Big
Both WebSocket 1006 (Abnormal Closure) and 1009 (Message Too Big) belong to the WebSocket Close Codes category. 1006 indicates that a reserved value indicating the connection was closed abnormally without a Close frame being sent. This code must not be set by an endpoint. Meanwhile, 1009 means that an endpoint is terminating the connection because it received a message that is too large for it to process.
Beschreibung
A reserved value indicating the connection was closed abnormally without a Close frame being sent. This code must not be set by an endpoint.
Wann Sie es sehen
The TCP connection dropped unexpectedly — the server crashed, the network cable was unplugged, or a firewall killed the idle connection. No proper WebSocket Close handshake occurred.
Wie man es behebt
Implement reconnection with exponential backoff. Use WebSocket ping/pong frames to detect dead connections early. Check for network-level timeouts or aggressive load balancer idle limits.
Beschreibung
An endpoint is terminating the connection because it received a message that is too large for it to process.
Wann Sie es sehen
The message payload exceeded the server's configured maximum frame or message size limit. Common when uploading large files or sending huge JSON payloads over WebSocket.
Wie man es behebt
Reduce the message size by chunking large payloads into smaller frames. Alternatively, increase the server's max message size configuration if the large payload is expected.
