Web Thing going away can result in a flooded network even if never paired #54

Closed twobraids closed 6 years ago

twobraids commented 6 years ago

to reproduce:

  1. start a gateway
  2. start a wireshark capture
  3. start a web thing
  4. stop the web thing
  5. note in wireshark a flood of thousands of requests from the gateway to the thing that no longer exists

this continues until the web thing comes back or the gateway is rebooted.

if a different web thing is started on the same machine, the flood will not abate if the GET requests are not precisely compatible with the previous web thing.
