Send Chinese error INFO: websocket.receive: UnicodeError 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe4 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

when sending what?

I found that upgrading to Python3 solves a lot of these issues, particularly with this library.

@jrief @domface python2.7,django1.8, python manage.py runserver

I try to send the Chinese, the link will be disconnected

@bbaobelief a workaround for this is to convert your string into char codes before sending messages (using String.charCodeAt), and convert it back when you receive a message from the websocket (using String.fromCharCode). This is ugly but solves the issue:

function to_char_code(str) {
    var char_codes = [];
    for (var i=0; i < str.length; i++) {
        char_codes.push(str.charCodeAt(i));
    }
    return char_codes;
}

function from_char_code(char_codes) {
    var str = "";
    for (var i=0; i < char_codes.length; i++) {
        str += String.fromCharCode(char_codes[i]);
    }
    return str;
}

Note that you can use JSON.stringify to convert the char codes array into string and vice versa, if necessary.

@yguarata Thanks， I am now using JS to solve the problem,

var classObj= { ToUnicode:function(str) { return escape(str).replace(/%/g,"\").toLowerCase(); }, UnUnicode:function(str) { return unescape(str.replace(/\/g, "%")); } }
