I have a _javascript_ client that sends MQTT messages over Websocket.
I captured packets on port 8001 while doing the following:
- Making a WebSocket connection
- Sending a large message, 124,000 bytes
- Receiving the same large message back (pub/sub)
- Disconnect

All worked as expected. The message was received intact. However while browsing
the pcap file, I noticed Wireshark flags the outbound WebSocket message with
the very large message (stream) as MALFORMED. Such is not the case. I was
testing a pub/sub client which gets back from the server the very large
message. The server in question (back end) was Apache MQ 5.10.0.

I enclose the pcap file along with the text message used to test.
