Document Firefox WebSocket flakiness? #1045

@ctm

Description

@ctm

This is a proposal for documentation that I'm willing to write.

I ran into an issue with WebSockets in Firefox that took quite a bit of time for me to figure out. Basically a bug, that was reported in May 2012, causes incoming messages to be dropped with only an error on the JavaScript console about closures. For me this was happening because I was opening a pop-up window, although the original bug report was for when an alert was created.

I created a little project that demos the problem. I'm willing to write documentation for Yew that mentions this problem. It's not Yew's fault, or web-sys's fault, it's just that it manifests itself under yew, is flakey, subtle and (at least to me) hard to track down.

This is super-low priority. I only bring it up because I figure if it bit me it may bite someone else.
