About protecting starting a session with the same name #315

You could create a system that if you try to create a session with the same name, it returns a failure, if the session exists and they are not active, then close it and open a new one, if there is one active (connected) then, do not perform any action

Fixed in 2024.5.3 (WAHA Plus)

if there is one active (connected) then, do not perform any action

If you perform two POST /api/sessions request with the same name, like

{
  "name": "sessionname",
}

It return response with status code 422 and payload:

{
  "statusCode": 422,
  "message": "Session 'default3' is already started.",
  "error": "Unprocessable Entity"
}

If the session exists and it's STOPPED - we restart it
