Client PING and Keep-Alive support #17

Closed jaraco closed 8 years ago

jaraco commented 8 years ago

In #16 and in other channels (I forget where), it appears it may be useful to have a configurable timeout for a client-side ping command in order to force connections to stay open in environments where an aggressive TCP idle timeout is in force.

Let's explore that idea.

Contributions welcome.

I've put together a draft implementation for some keep-alive support in 88ee7096b3d7. I'm not thrilled about the implementation, but it may be suitable. Comments and suggestions welcome.
