    I've used TCP Sockets in my apps before, and I've had to send regular noop/dummy data across the connection to keep it open (since a TCP socket is just a dumb pipe) to prevent the host or firewalls etc from closing the connection if idle.

    What about websockets? I'm not familiar with the details of their implementation, but do they do their own keepalive? Or do I need to send an occasional command (or something) across the websocket?

      Hi,

      I think it's the ping method you are looking for.
