Improve Websocket Reconnect in Firefox #58

Closed mad-moo closed 3 months ago

mad-moo commented 3 months ago

Firefox tracks websocket disconnection failures and once a certain threshold is exceeded throttles them. This leads to an annoying grey screen before further attempts are made. Improve on this:

either test whether the server is running via HTTP requests (rather websockets)
wait for longer between attempts (only in firefox?)

The frontend now uses HTTP requests (via fetch) to check if the server is online. Seems to have solved the problem, as far as I can tell.
