• Removed unused import statements and reordered them in AuthenticationURI.java, SearchRequest.java, and ServerConfiguration.java [1] [2] [3].

WebSocket Enhancements:

• Enhanced WebSocket setup to support both ws and wss protocols in adminscript.js and mainpage.js [1] [2].
• Modified the WebSocket refresh function to send "refresh-Admin" instead of "refresh" in adminscript.js.

Error Handling Improvements:
