WebSockets support about offline HOT 6 OPEN

@zackbloom @nilskp check out joewalnes/reconnecting-websocket#1, a model for general purpose WebSocket monitoring / recovery.

from offline.

Hmmm, interesting. It's pretty complex to do though, as we'd have to reopen the socket after the connection is restored, and many servers are set up to do something when a connection is initiated, so it is not going to work perfectly out-of-the-box in every situation.

Server side making, wrong, assumptions about web socket connecting should not mean we don't get this functionality.

Is it a wrong assumption to assume a client is connecting when you get a client opening a connection?

I'm happy to review a PR, if you'd like to make one @nilskp

Well, it's wrong to assume that a WebSocket connection is so stable that a client is never dropped and thus never needs to reconnect. I don't know in which universe that would be a good assumption.

Fair enough, sounds good to me.
