I am able to send a query to mycroft core running on my localhost via docker.
my query is - ‘where is california’ and I see the response in the skills.log as
2021-09-17 02:31:23.812 | INFO | 25 | QuestionsAnswersSkill | Searching for where is california
California is located on the West Coast of the United States. It shares borders with Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona
However, my websocket client doesn’t see any response.

my client code closed the websocket immediately. I kept it running for a while, and I can see all responses.
