Commands that may be returned from Websocket callbacks.
The following commands are defined:
active::
Whether to disable or enable reading from the socket. This
can be used to apply flow control to a Websocket connection.
deflate::
Whether the subsequent frames should be compressed. Has no
effect on connections that did not negotiate compression.
set_options::
Set Websocket options. Currently only the option `idle_timeout`
may be updated from a Websocket handler.
Frame::
Send the corresponding Websocket frame.
