(PowerBuilder) WebSocket Send/Receive Binary Data

Demonstrates how to send and receive binary data on a websocket. This example uses Chilkat's websocket test echo server at ws://websockets.chilkat.io/wsChilkatEcho.ashx

Note: The websockets.chilkat.io server imposes the following limitations:
Messages must be 16K or less, and each connection is limited to a max of 16 echoed messages.

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// See Establish WebSocket Connection for more complete sample code for making the connection.
