That was also my understanding. I hoped there is some trick as the WebSocket ​
protocol sits on top of HTTP.

That is just a complete message, signaled by binaryMessageReceived(). The 
WebSocket ​protocol can split messages into frames. But it seems there is 
currently no support to send frames, only the reception is supported. My idea 
was to split large messages and also have the receiver being able to report 
progress and not have a large message fully in memory.

Ok, I can make my own protocol on top of WebSocket, send chunks and replies 
from the receiver.
