Bug Fix: Retry When Connection Error Happens #30

Closed ericxtang closed 6 years ago

ericxtang commented 6 years ago

The logic change here is adding sendMessageWithRetry. This fixes the following bug:

n1 -> n2
n1 sends a bad message (maybe the network drops a few bytes, etc)
n2 catches the error, breaks out of the handler loop and closes the connection.
Now n1 doesn't know about it. It'll continue to send messages on a closed connection.

With the retry, n1 catches the error and attempts to re-establish the connection.
