Gorilla WebSocket

Gorilla WebSocket is a Go implementation of the WebSocket protocol.

This fork adds support for the Go HTTP package fasthttp, which is a high performance, byte slice oriented alternative to net/http.

Note that

The original repo is Gorilla WebSocket, and this project is fork from leavengood/websocket. I am not the author, I just removed the supported for net/http, improved the Upgrader and provided some examples for fasthttp.

	github.com/gorilla	golang.org/x/net
RFC 6455 Features
Passes Autobahn Test Suite	Yes	No
Receive fragmented message	Yes	No, see note 1
Send close message	Yes	No
Send pings and receive pongs	Yes	No
Get the type of a received data message	Yes	Yes, see note 2
Other Features
Limit size of received message	Yes	No
Read message using io.Reader	Yes	No, see note 3
Write message using io.WriteCloser	Yes	No, see note 3

Notes:

• Large messages are fragmented in Chrome's new WebSocket implementation.
• The application can get the type of a received data message by implementing a Codec marshal function.
• The go.net io.Reader and io.Writer operate across WebSocket frame boundaries. Read returns when the input buffer is full or a frame boundary is encountered. Each call to Write sends a single frame message. The Gorilla io.Reader and io.WriteCloser operate on a single WebSocket message.
