That's why HTTP added chunking. Is this a common case we should expect? What are the use cases for this? If this is a rare occurence, then it's probably simplest to support this at the application layer - nothing stops anyone from having a subprotocol that defines the first byte/character of each message as being a "has continuation" byte. If this is a common occurance, then we'll be able to tell when people find themselves often implementing this at the application layer, and then we can easily add it at the WebSocket layer at that time (in a few months). We don't need to reserve bits specifically for it today. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
