A CloseEvent is sent to clients using WebSockets when the connection is closed. This is delivered to the listener indicated by the WebSocket object's onclose attribute.

Variables

read onlycode:Int

Returns an unsigned short containing the close code send by the server. The following values are permitted status codes. The following definitions are sourced from the IANA website [Ref]. Note that the 1xxx codes are only WebSocket-internal and not for the same meaning by the transported data (like when the application-layer protocol is invalid). The only permitted codes to be specified in Firefox are 1000 and 3000 to 4999 [Source, Bug].

		<td>Normal Closure</td>
		<td>Normal closure; the connection successfully completed whatever purpose for which it was created.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td><code>1001</code></td>
		<td>Going Away</td>
		<td>The endpoint is going away, either because of a server failure or because the browser is navigating away from the page that opened the connection.</td>

		<td>Protocol Error</td>
		<td>The endpoint is terminating the connection due to a protocol error.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td><code>1003</code></td>
		<td>Unsupported Data</td>
		<td>The connection is being terminated because the endpoint received data of a type it cannot accept (for example, a text-only endpoint received binary data).</td>
	</tr>

		<td><code>1004</code></td>
		<td> </td>
		<td>Reserved. A meaning might be defined in the future.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td><code>1005</code></td>
		<td>No Status Recvd</td>
		<td>Reserved.  Indicates that no status code was provided even though one was expected.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td><code>1006</code></td>
		<td>Abnormal Closure</td>
		<td>Reserved. Used to indicate that a connection was closed abnormally (that is, with no close frame being sent) when a status code is expected.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td><code>1007</code></td>
		<td>Invalid frame payload data</td>
		<td>The endpoint is terminating the connection because a message was received that contained inconsistent data (e.g., non-UTF-8 data within a text message).</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td><code>1008</code></td>
		<td>Policy Violation</td>
		<td>The endpoint is terminating the connection because it received a message that violates its policy. This is a generic status code, used when codes 1003 and 1009 are not suitable.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td><code>1009</code></td>
		<td>Message too big</td>
		<td>The endpoint is terminating the connection because a data frame was received that is too large.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td><code>1010</code></td>
		<td>Missing Extension</td>
		<td>The client is terminating the connection because it expected the server to negotiate one or more extension, but the server didn't.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td><code>1011</code></td>
		<td>Internal Error</td>
		<td>The server is terminating the connection because it encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td><code>1012</code></td>
		<td>Service Restart</td>
		<td>The server is terminating the connection because it is restarting. [Ref]</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td><code>1013</code></td>
		<td>Try Again Later</td>
		<td>The server is terminating the connection due to a temporary condition, e.g. it is overloaded and is casting off some of its clients. [Ref]</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td><code>1014</code></td>
		<td>Bad Gateway</td>
		<td>The server was acting as a gateway or proxy and received an invalid response from the upstream server. This is similar to 502 HTTP Status Code.</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td><code>1015</code></td>
		<td>TLS Handshake</td>
		<td>Reserved. Indicates that the connection was closed due to a failure to perform a TLS handshake (e.g., the server certificate can't be verified).</td>

read onlyreason:String

Returns a DOMString indicating the reason the server closed the connection. This is specific to the particular server and sub-protocol.

read onlywasClean:Bool

Returns a Boolean that Indicates whether or not the connection was cleanly closed.

Inherited Variables

Defined by Event

read onlybubbles:Bool

A Boolean indicating whether the event bubbles up through the DOM or not.

cancelBubble:Bool

A historical alias to Event.stopPropagation(). Setting its value to true before returning from an event handler prevents propagation of the event.

read onlycancelable:Bool

A Boolean indicating whether the event is cancelable.

read onlycomposed:Bool

A Boolean value indicating whether or not the event can bubble across the boundary between the shadow DOM and the regular DOM.

read onlycurrentTarget:EventTarget

A reference to the currently registered target for the event. This is the object to which the event is currently slated to be sent; it's possible this has been changed along the way through retargeting.

read onlydefaultPrevented:Bool

Indicates whether or not event.preventDefault() has been called on the event.

read onlyeventPhase:Int

Indicates which phase of the event flow is being processed.

read onlyexplicitOriginalTarget:EventTarget

The explicit original target of the event (Mozilla-specific).

read onlyisTrusted:Bool

Indicates whether or not the event was initiated by the browser (after a user click for instance) or by a script (using an event creation method, like event.initEvent).

read onlyoriginalTarget:EventTarget

The original target of the event, before any retargetings (Mozilla-specific).

returnValue:Bool

A historical property introduced by Internet Explorer and eventually adopted into the DOM specification in order to ensure existing sites continue to work. Ideally, you should try to use Event.preventDefault() and Event.defaultPrevented instead, but you can use returnValue if you choose to do so.

read onlytarget:EventTarget

A reference to the target to which the event was originally dispatched.

read onlytimeStamp:Float

The time at which the event was created (in milliseconds). By specification, this value is time since epoch, but in reality browsers' definitions vary; in addition, work is underway to change this to be a DOMHighResTimeStamp instead.

read onlytype:String

The name of the event (case-insensitive).

Inherited Methods

Defined by Event

composedPath():Array<EventTarget>

Returns the event’s path (objects on which listeners will be invoked). This does not include nodes in shadow trees if the shadow root was created with its ShadowRoot.mode closed.

@:value({ cancelable : false, bubbles : false })initEvent(type:String, bubbles:Bool = false, cancelable:Bool = false):Void

Initializes the value of an Event created. If the event has already being dispatched, this method does nothing.

preventDefault():Void

Cancels the event (if it is cancelable).

stopImmediatePropagation():Void

For this particular event, no other listener will be called. Neither those attached on the same element, nor those attached on elements which will be traversed later (in capture phase, for instance)

stopPropagation():Void

Stops the propagation of events further along in the DOM.
