I'm no expert on the websocket protocol, but based on some quick research, websocket doesn't appear to use the HTTP Content-Type header, and the Data Guard feature only checks content with the content-type values listed here:

"text/..."
"application/x-shockwave-flash"
"application/sgml"
"application/x-javascript"
"application/xml"
"application/x-asp"
"application/x-aspx"
"application/xhtml+xml"
