(Swift 2) 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.

    let ws = CkoWebSocket()

    // For brevity, this example does not check for errors when etablishing the WebSocket connection.
    // See Establish WebSocket Connection for more complete sample code for making the connection.

    let rest = CkoRest()
    // Connect to websockets.chilkat.io
    // IMPORTANT: websockets.chilkat.io accepts frames of up to 16K in size and echoes them back.
