WebSocket 1009 Message Too Big vs 1012 Service Restart
Both WebSocket 1009 (Message Too Big) and 1012 (Service Restart) belong to the WebSocket Close Codes category. 1009 indicates that an endpoint is terminating the connection because it received a message that is too large for it to process. Meanwhile, 1012 means that the server is terminating the connection because it is restarting. The client should reconnect after a brief delay.
विवरण
An endpoint is terminating the connection because it received a message that is too large for it to process.
जब आप इसे देखें
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.
कैसे ठीक करें
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.
विवरण
The server is terminating the connection because it is restarting. The client should reconnect after a brief delay.
जब आप इसे देखें
The server is performing a planned restart — for example, during a deployment or configuration reload. The connection will be available again shortly.
कैसे ठीक करें
Implement automatic reconnection with a short delay (1-5 seconds). This code signals that reconnecting is expected and should succeed once the server is back up.
