Sending Binary Data with WebSocket

By default, The Atmosphere Framework will send text message back to the client/browser. If you want to send bytes, just add client side the following header:

X-Atmosphere-Binary: true

You can also programmatically enable it by using

AtmosphereResource.forceBinaryWrite(true);

You can also enable it by using web.xml

        <init-param>
            <param-name>org.atmosphere.websocket.binaryWrite</param-name>
            <param-value>true</param-value>
        </init-param>
