WebSocket 1003 Unsupported Data vs 1008 Policy Violation
Both WebSocket 1003 (Unsupported Data) and 1008 (Policy Violation) belong to the WebSocket Close Codes category. 1003 indicates that an endpoint received a type of data it cannot accept. For example, a text-only endpoint received a binary message, or vice versa. Meanwhile, 1008 means that an endpoint is terminating the connection because it received a message that violates its policy. This is a generic code when none of the other codes (1003, 1009) are suitable.
Mô tả
An endpoint received a type of data it cannot accept. For example, a text-only endpoint received a binary message, or vice versa.
Khi bạn thấy mã này
The client sent a binary frame to a server that only handles text, or a text frame to a binary-only endpoint. The receiver does not know how to process this data type.
Cách khắc phục
Verify the message type (text vs binary) matches what the server expects. Update your client to send the correct opcode for the data format.

Khi bạn thấy mã này
The server rejected a message because it violated an application-level policy — for example, sending messages too rapidly, exceeding rate limits, or failing authentication after the handshake.
Cách khắc phục
Review the server's documented policies and constraints. Check for rate limiting, authentication token expiry, or forbidden message content that triggered the rejection.
