I am trying to decode a websocket frame, but I'm not successful when it comes to decoding the extended payload. Here what I did achieve so far:

```
char *in = data;
char *buffer;
unsigned int i;
unsigned char mask[4];
unsigned int packet_length = 0;
int rc;

/* Expect a finished text frame. */
assert(in[0] == '\x81');
packet_length = ((unsigned char) in[1]) & 0x7f;

mask[0] = in[2];
mask[1] = in[3];
mask[2] = in[4];
mask[3] = in[5];

if (packet_length <= 125) {           **// This decoding works**
     /* Unmask the payload. */
    for (i = 0; i < packet_length; i++)
        in[6 + i] ^= mask[i % 4];
    rc = asprintf(&buffer, "%.*s", packet_length, in + 6);
} else
    if (packet_length == 126) {       **//This decosing does NOT work**
        /* Unmask the payload. */
        for (i = 0; i < packet_length; i++)
          in[8 + i] ^= mask[i % 4];
        rc = asprintf(&buffer, "%.*s", packet_length, in + 8);
}

```

What am I doing wrong? How do I encode the extended payload?
