websocket example connection error

This may be user error, as the espruino websocket server example works when the client is a web browser. when trying to get the client to be a node.js app, i'm having issues.

this gives the same error from node.js. i can see the blue light flash on the espruino when i run the client, but there is no output in the espruino repl.

is there an example for espruino websocket server, and node.js client?

const WebSocket = require('ws');
 
const ws = new WebSocket('ws://192.168.1.203:8000/');
 
ws.on('open', function open() {
  ws.send('something');
});

ws.on('error', function(err) {
    console.log(err);
})
 
ws.on('message', function incoming(data) {
  console.log(data);
});
