no feedback when insecure operation error occurs #45

when hosted on https://dogfeed.5apps.com/#/ if you leave TLS unchecked, with Firefox, you get an 'insecure operation' error. this is because you're not allowed to connect to an insecure (http://, or in this case, ws://) URL from a secure (https://) origin.

the information dogfeed gives to the user is that the blue 'trying to connect' messages stays indefinitely. you have to guess that it failed, and refresh the page to get out of that state. it would be nice if it could time out and show the 'Danger: could not connect' message after, say, 10 seconds
