This only affects debug logs. * When a close frame cannot be parsed, always show it as binary. * Treat ping and pong frames as text only when it's printable ASCII or spaces (which will be escaped in the representation). This avoids treating our random 4-bytes payloads as text when they're UTF-8, which happens a bit more that 1 time out of 16. (Chances that it's ASCII are 1 in 16, and then in can be UTF-8 in a few more cases.) Refs #1763.
