!!! info
    As this is a WebSocket it doesn't really make sense to raise an `HTTPException`, instead we raise a `WebSocketException`.

    You can use a closing code from the <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455#section-7.4.1" class="external-link" target="_blank">valid codes defined in the specification</a>.

            - iter_bytes
            - iter_json
            - send_text
            - send_bytes
            - send_json
            - close

When a client disconnects, a `WebSocketDisconnect` exception is raised, you can catch it.

You can import it directly form `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import WebSocketDisconnect
```

::: fastapi.WebSocketDisconnect
