Send Websocket Ping frames #174

Closed bbangert closed 9 years ago

bbangert commented 9 years ago

To ensure connections stay alive, the server should have a configurable parameter indicating how frequently it should send a websocket ping frame.

This is an interesting one, given that golang.org/x/net/websocket doesn't expose any hooks for sending PING frames—though it can receive and process them. We might need to send an application-level ping ({}) instead.

Edit: The protocol layer can process PINGs, but not PONGs.

Agreed, it'll be easier to send {} in a text frame.
