Cannot establish a connection to the visualizer in Julia v1.8

[samufi]

The following simple code runs on Julia v1.6 but not on v1.8.

using MeshCat

visualizer = Visualizer()
open(visualizer)
setvisible!(visualizer, true)
wait(visualizer)

With Julia 1.8, I get the following error message:

┌ Info: MeshCat server started. You can open the visualizer by visiting the following URL in your browser:

I am using a fresh Julia environment on Windows 10.

I think that's a similar issues as #233

On macOS, I can kinda reproduce this issue. The Julia REPL, seems to halt when doing open(visualizer). ~Interestingly, from a Jupyter notebook (on Jupyter lab) this is not an issue.~

Edit: I've found that the issue is not that we can't establish a connection with the server; instead, the server is not even starting. This seems to have started from WebSockets version 1.6.

This should be solved in MeshCat.jl v0.15.1. Please check it out and re-open this issue if that is not the case. Thanks!
