> I don't think you are correct. As far as I understand the discussions in the group over masking, the server to client masking is optional (server MAY MASK). Otherwise we would not need a masking flag in the frame header since client-to-server frames would always be masked and server-to-client frames would never be masked.

Does the spec state somewhere that the client MUST be ready to receive
masked frames from the server? or is it just an interpretation due the
existence of such masking flag?
