So the ktor website in its guide for websockets gives the following example:

install(WebSockets) {
    pingPeriod = Duration.ofSeconds(60) // Disabled (null) by default
    timeout = Duration.ofSeconds(15)
    maxFrameSize = Long.MAX_VALUE // Disabled (max value). The connection will be closed if surpassed this length. 
    masking = false
}

However, this doesn't actually work (as far as I can tell), because the receiver of the lambda is the type of the first parameter of

WebSockets

, which is

Unit

. Anyone know where I went wrong?

The

WebSockets

constructor has (some of) those config properties (pingInterval and maxFrameSize)
