Description

Propagate SSL exception to the client. Currently, if an error occurs during connection setup, client observes a generic “connection failed error”. This is because server has no mechanism to send an exact error to the client since the connection was never setup. The idea is to use WebSocket error codes to provide a more specific error to the client.
