WebSocket client API

Hi Chris,

>>> Will adding the ability to send ping(ByteBuffer) be sufficient for your usage? If so, then I think we should add it, but not pong.  The implementation will automatically send a pong message in response to receiving a ping. OK?

I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean, that we need to distinguish
it in the method WebSocket.Incoming.onBinary(WebSocket, ByteBuffer),
then no. I expect that this method is only used to process binary
message. For pong messages I would expect a new method:
WebSocket.Incoming.onPong(WebSocket, ByteBuffer). Currently we don't
process the pong messages on the client. And there are no plans to do
it in the near future.
