Error description

• An RPT 10.0.2 customer is running a test containing HTTPS and
  WebSocket traffic.  When they playback, some of the WebSocket
  Text Responses are reporting no bytes received and eventually
  the connection is closed.  The CommonBaseEvents00.log from the
  customer shows that the missing bytes corresponding to the Text
  Responses were being received (i.e. they appeared in the
  "Decrypted buffer" messages).
  
  The problem is related to the timing of the Text Responses from
  the server.  The RPT test contains four Text Requests with three
  Text Response's following the 4th request:
  
     Text Request on connection Conn_52 (1)
     Text Request on connection Conn_52 (2)
     Text Request on connection Conn_52 (3)
     Text Request on connection Conn_52 (4)
       Text Response on connection Conn_52 (1)
       Text Response on connection Conn_52 (2)
       Text Response on connection Conn_52 (3)
     Text Request on connection Conn_52 (5)
  
  This is a reasonable representation of the recorded traffic.
  Based on the traffic, it seems likely that the initial three
  Text Request's correspond to the three Text Response's.
