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.

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.
