Descripción
### Problem
Long-lived WebSocket servers often need every outbound write to be bounded. With `v1.8.15`, the main API requires creating a deadline context for every message:
```go
package main
import (
"context"
"log"
"net/http"
"time"
"github.com/coder/websocket"
)
func main() {
http.HandleFunc("/", serve)
log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil))
}
func serve(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
c, err := websocket.Accept(w, r, nil)
if err != nil {
return
}
defer c.CloseNow()
connCtx := c.CloseRead(r.Context())
ticker := time.NewTicker(10 * time.Millisecond)
defer ticker.Stop()
for {
select {
case <-connCtx.Done():
return
case <-ticker.C:
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), time.Second)
err := c.Write(ctx, websocket.MessageText, []byte(`{"type":"event"}`))
cancel()
if err != nil {
return
}
}
}
}
```
Using `context.Background()` avoids the timeout-related allocations added around each frame, but also removes the bounded-write guarantee.
`websocket.NetConn` exposes `SetWriteDeadline`, but it is a full bidirectional adapter. It creates read and write contexts, timers, and locks, and calls `SetReadLimit(-1)` even when only its write side is needed.
A loopback benchmark with `v1.8.15` on Go 1.27rc2 produced:
| Strategy | Write path | Connection construction |
|---|---:|---:|
| `context.WithTimeout` | 1304 B/op, 12 allocs/op | no extra adapter |
| `NetConn.SetWriteDeadline` | 664 B/op, 5 allocs/op | 848 B, 13 allocs |
The write measurements use the same client reader, so the allocation difference is the relevant result. At high connection counts, the fixed `NetConn` cost is material.
### Request
Could `*websocket.Conn` provide a lightweight write-only deadline mechanism, for example `SetWriteDeadline(time.Time)` or an equivalent API?
Ideally it would:
- reuse connection-owned deadline state instead of allocating a timer context per write;
- bound both write-lock acquisition and the underlying write;
- preserve the current behavior where a timed-out write closes the WebSocket;
- remain safe with concurrent `Ping`, `Close`, and data writes;
- avoid creating read-side state or changing the configured read limit;
- allow zero time to clear the deadline.
Related: #252 discusses the same API direction for read deadlines.

Línea de trabajo
Inspecciona primero la ruta de escritura en *websocket.Conn y la gestión de deadlines en websocket.NetConn; después, lee el issue #252 para conocer la dirección relacionada con el read-deadline. Se considera terminado cuando exista un mecanismo de deadline exclusivo para escritura que limite la adquisición del lock y las escrituras, conserve el comportamiento de cierre por timeout, siga siendo seguro con operaciones concurrentes, evite el estado del lado de lectura y se borre con un tiempo cero.
