Michael Fletcher (ID: 000000e0b13453cf) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/20/2022 I can test my websocket using swcat and it works fine but with this I get "undefined", useless. Flat out doesn't do the job. It's probably spyware.

Terence Lau (ID: 00000045b5f4c3e9) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/06/2022 Very useful tool. Thanks to the author! A suggestion by the way: Hope to change the width of the URL input box to 90% instead of the current 225px. This makes it easier to modify the URL.
