Custom DDP is broken across the board

[djlogan2]

I see somebody else wrote about the odd character(s) prior to the json. I was having that problem before as well, and when Chrome issued a recent update, it broke custom DDP completely for that version.

But it gets worse. I have been trying to use any level of your packages (direct access, custom protocol, and jsonprotocol) now for days and days. I have installed, uninstalled, tried to develop a solution using all three.

There is no way to do it. Right now the biggest problem is line 72 of DirectStreamAccess.client.js:

} else { throw new Error('More than one onMessage handler detected'); }

I really need to be able to send a small number of custom DDP messages between the client and the server. Is there a solution?
