WhatsApp Web opens both chat websocket endpoints concurrently and closes an opened loser with status 1000 and reason loser socket. This adds an opt-in SocketConfig.RaceURLs path that keeps the first successful connection, cancels outstanding dials, and sends the matching close frame to an already-open loser. The existing single-socket behavior remains the default.

The change also lets callers suppress the post-connect passive IQ when their login payload already declares passive: false. Racer contexts now own only each HTTP upgrade and are released when that attempt completes. Opened sockets remain bound to the caller context, so canceling pending dials cannot tear down an upgraded loser before its close frame is sent.

Validation:

  • go test -race ./...
  • go test ./...
  • go vet ./...
  • go test -race ./socket -run '^TestConnectRaceLeavesOneSocket$' -count=50
  • git diff --check

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for connecting through multiple WebSocket endpoints simultaneously, selecting the first successful connection to improve reliability.
    • Added an option to suppress post-connection passive IQ messages.
    • Added support for specifying explicit WebSocket closure reasons.
    • Unsuccessful parallel connection attempts are closed cleanly after a connection succeeds.
  • Compatibility

    • Existing single-endpoint and no-endpoint connection behavior remains supported.
    • Connection failures and handshake handling continue to behave as before.

…nt does

WhatsApp Web opens wss://web.whatsapp.com/ws/chat and
wss://web.whatsapp.com:5222/ws/chat concurrently on every connect and closes
the one that loses with code 1000 and the reason "loser socket"
(WAWebOpenSocket.js:10, 44-52). A client that makes exactly one attempt per
connect and never closes a second socket differs from the real one by nothing
more than counting.

- socket.ConnectRace opens every URL concurrently, keeps the first to connect,
  aborts the dials still outstanding and closes an already-open loser with the
  client's own code and reason.
- FrameSocket.CloseWithReason carries an explicit close reason; Close keeps its
  signature and passes an empty one.
- SocketConfig.RaceURLs opts a client in; empty keeps the single-socket path.
- Client.DisablePostConnectPassiveIQ stops the library sending the
  passive/active IQ after connect, which the real client never sends: WhatsApp
  Web puts passive:false in the login payload itself
  (WAWebGetClientPayloadForLogin.js:14-19).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The client can race multiple WebSocket endpoints, close losing sockets with an explicit reason, and disable the post-connect passive IQ. The socket package adds race handling and tests for winner selection, cleanup, cancellation, and failure cases.

Changes

WebSocket connection controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Socket racing and close reasons
socket/framesocket.go, socket/race.go, socket/race_test.go
FrameSocket supports explicit close reasons and separate socket and dial contexts. ConnectRace concurrently dials endpoints, keeps the first successful socket, closes later winners, cancels outstanding dials, preserves header values, and aggregates failures. Tests cover selection, cleanup, compatibility, failure, cancellation, headers, and close frames.
Client connection and passive IQ configuration
client.go, connectionevents.go
SocketConfig.RaceURLs selects endpoint racing when multiple URLs are configured. Client.DisablePostConnectPassiveIQ skips the post-connect passive request when enabled.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ff99c

This adds opt-in endpoint racing, explicit loser close reasons, and optional passive-IQ suppression while retaining the existing default connection behavior. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains in the available evidence.

remains open and TestConnectRaceLeavesOneSocket observes the expected close code
and reason.
- Around line 128-132: Update the header-copying logic in newRacer to preserve
all values from each headers entry: clear any existing destination values, then
add every source value to fs.HTTPHeaders instead of retaining only values[0].
Add an integration test covering a header with two values and verify ConnectRace
delivers both values to the server.

Review fixes applied

Resolved the three active socket-race findings in ff99cde:

  • Racer cancellation now applies only to pending HTTP upgrades; an opened socket remains bound to the caller context.
  • Every derived racer context is released when its attempt completes, including the winner.
  • The loser-cleanup test now holds both completed upgrades at a barrier and requires status 1000 with reason loser socket.

Files modified:

  • socket/framesocket.go
  • socket/race.go
  • socket/race_test.go

Commit: ff99cde0ab2e60bc2c5a29f412e483c5eabf7341

Validation passed: full tests with and without the race detector, go vet ./..., a 50-run race-detector stress test for the deterministic loser path, and git diff --check.
