Description

https://github.com/sta/websocket-sharp/blob/master/websocket-sharp/WebSocket.cs#L1008-L1016

Out of curiosity, why catch all exceptions after emitting the OnError event? What if someone wanted to re-throw another exception up the stack? I'm having trouble a good pattern to detect a connection failure for example... How do I notify my UI that something is wrong so that a re-connect can be initiated?

Research direction

Start at websocket-sharp/WebSocket.cs lines 1008-1016 and trace how exceptions are handled after OnError is emitted. Review the connection-failure and reconnection paths to determine the intended propagation or notification behavior. Done requires an agreed behavior, documented handling, and verification with a connection-failure scenario.
