Basic demonstration of observed size limits on WebSocket message on CloudFlare workers.

Most of this is autogenerated from the Cloudflare TypeScript worker template. The only files with added logic are:

• src/handler.ts
• index.html

Run the Cloudflare worker in dev mode like: wrangler dev

Then browse to the index.html file. This page has a simple form for sending WebSocket messages of a specified size to the worker.

When a message is received by the worker's message event listener it logs message ${Date.now()}. The message event listener does nothing else.

Note that messages longer than 1,100,000 chars will fail. Either with no log message or with the following error:

Error: The script will never generate a response. at line 0, col -2
