Description

This method establishes a connection to the server. A connection may fail if the server cannot be reached due to an invalid address, firewall issues, or if the server does not respond. The connection also fails when the initial HTTP connection could not be elevated to a websocket connection.

When the connection is successful then the method :onConnect() is executed.

After the client is connected to the server messages can be exchanged. Use the methods :sendText() and :sendBinary() for sending messages to the server. When messages are received from the server then the method :onText() or :onBinary() is executed.
