ArrayBufferView	Sends a variable-length A typed array view of an ArrayBuffer to the server.

 

Return value

This method does not return a value.

Remarks

An ArrayBufferView is a typed array view of an ArrayBuffer. An ArrayBuffer is a unformatted block of raw data that is sent in its entirety to a server. By using a typed array to define the format of the buffer, and the start and length (number of elements), you can send portions of an ArrayBuffer to a server.

var buf = new ArrayBuffer(100);
var firstFourBytes = new Uint8Array(buf, 0, 4);
socket.send(firstFourBytes);

This method can throw one of the following exceptions:
