## Detailed Description

this class represents a connection to a websocket client

Receiving WebSocket Messages from Clients
  When the WebSocketHandler class receives a message from the client, the WebSocketHandler class calls the WebSocketConnection::gotMessage() on the object that represents that connection.

Sending WebSocket Message to Clients
  To send a message to a websocket client, call one of the following methods:
  - WebSocketConnection::send(): to send an unencoded message to the client
  - WebSocketConnection::sendEncoded(): to send an already-encoded message to the client
