WebSocket.CloseStatus: Actual value is null when socket is open, not non-existent WebSocketCloseStatus.None

[mattflaschen]

Type of issue

Code doesn't work

Description

WebSocket.CloseStatus Property (8.0) states, "If the close handshake has not been initiated yet, WebSocketCloseStatus.None is returned."

Actually, WebSocketCloseStatus.None does not exist. Before the close handshake begins, CloseStatus is null, as noted in the field declaration. (The actual CloseStatus property just returns the backing field.)
