This is not an area of the network stack i know about, so please
excuse what might be a dumb question.

How is the protocol defined here? Is there an RFC or some other sort
of standard?

A message is being built and sent over a socket. The size of that
message was fixed, at 65 + sizeof(whdr). Now the message is variable
length. Does the protocol specification actually allow this?
