When a single frame can be 61 bits large?

And thanks for this. As you know I'm a WebSockets rookie so I need and appricate pointers like this!

I believe most implementations enforce a maximum message length. Mojolicious (Perl), for example, stipulates 256 KiB by default. (https://metacpan.org/pod/Mojo::Transaction::WebSocket#max_websocket_size) I think Firefox is 2 GiB.

It could of course work to have a maximum message size set, but this makes me curious. Surely a client will run into problems if you use 256KB max size against a server-side websocket thing that assumes much larger?

Using up to 2 gigabytes buffer for a single message is still several magnitudes larger than I would want libcurl to do.

Other websockets implementations are doing that then I presume?
