Centrifugo 1.6.x can close connection without any reason

[korvinko]

Centrifugo 1.6.1 run locally on 127.0.0.1 with memory engine. After some random actions on page it can suddenly close connection though I do not leave page or close connection by javacript API.

Last messages before disconnect:

Centrifugo web admin "messages" section does not show any big messages. And can not be problem with network because it run locally.

Same for 1.6.2

Thanks for a report!

Do you use latest javascript client? Could you try to reproduce this when ping: false in js client options?

[korvinko]

Yes, ping: false solved problem.

On client side centrifugo-js: 1.4.1 without sockjs.

[FZambia]

Yeah, I see a problem - it's introduced with 1.6.0, will fix it very soon, until that moment you can use ping: false to avoid such disconnects.

@johndoejdg fixed in 1.6.3, many thanks for your detailed report

Also I suggest updating centrifuge-js to version 1.4.2 for those who use SockJS polling transports.
