Socket connection drops after an idle period

[porld]

The socket connection disappears after an idle period. Not clear if this is client-side or server-side.

Reconnection was set to False!

Could you possibly explain what exactly the solution was here?

Where is this : Reconnection was set to False! 🤔

Same issue Flask-SocketIO#248

When setting up the initial connection via io.connect I had stupidly set the reconnection switch to false.
socket = io.connect(socket_url, {reconnection: true})

The problem recurs intermittently. Active monitoring of the connection status with forced reconnects upon idle don't work. The session has been dropped by the server but a new session cannot be initiated by the client.
