WebSocket Connection to KubeVirt Console Established, but No TTY Output

I'm currently facing an issue when trying to connect to the KubeVirt VirtualMachineInstance (VMI) console serial using a WebSocket client.

Implementation:

The WebSocket is initialized as follows:

const targetUrl = `${apiServer}/apis/subresources.kubevirt.io/v1alpha3/namespaces/${namespace}/virtualmachineinstances/${vmi}/console`;

const ws = new WebSocket(targetUrl, {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
    "Sec-WebSocket-Protocol": "base64.channel.kubevirt.io",
  },
  rejectUnauthorized: false,
});
proxySocket.on("open", () => {
  socket.emit("data", "Connected To VM WS");
  console.log("KubeVirt WS connected");
});

proxySocket.on("message", (data) => {
  console.log("Received data:", data);
});

WebSocket Behavior:

• WebSocket connection successfully opens (onopen is triggered).
• However, no data is received after the connection is established.
• No TTY output appears in the frontend/client. (after implement with xtermjs)
• The client remains silent, even after sending user input (such as \n).

If anyone's run into this before or has any idea what I might be missing, I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks a bunch!

After conducting further research, I was able to resolve the issue independently. The solution involved converting the string into an ASCII array before sending it through the WebSocket.

        const enc = new TextEncoder().encode(data);
        proxySocket.send(enc);
