websocket.receive() binary data

[jbq]

Hi, I'm successfully using Quart's websocket, and I'm now wondering why websocket.receive() returns str is there a way to get bytes instead? I'm working with a binary protocol, so it would be nice to have raw data access and it sounds weird to encode the input.

It should return either str or bytes (AnyStr) depending on what the client sends. There may be a bug if it is decoding the bytes.

It may be my bad, part of my code was still sending str. The Quart Websocket documentation does has no example with binary and doesn't mention it, hence my question.

No worries, I've added some more documentation here 72bd6e9.
