x/net/websocket: setting BinaryFrame

[gopherbot]

by errordeveloper:

Default PayloadType is TextFrame and there seem to be no way of setting it to
BinaryFrame.

I'm not too sure what the fix would be, but in my case modifying that line 346 worked...

Comment 1 by ledangster:

If your handler uses *websocket.Conn directly then you directly change PayloadType
(since it's publicly modifiable) to websocket.BinaryFrame before writing out the
frame(s):
 conn.PayloadType = websocket.BinaryFrame
 ...
 conn.Write(...)

Comment 2 by errordeveloper:

That worked, pardon for newbie bug report. Perhaps I could suggest it needs
to be a little more clear in the docs.

Comment 3:

Labels changed: added repo-net.

PayloadType is an exported field. It should be documented.

Also, Write should probably mention that it uses the value of PayloadType. Its documentation currently says nothing about that.
