<sanity check>Handling reconnects of websocket on dodgy network link

[yatesco]

Hi there, do web sockets have any notion of "the same client reconnected" or are they distinct "anonymous" connections?

I assume so, so I am sticking any client specific state into a session, but I wanted to check. In the chat example, If "Bob" disconnects and reconnects because the network dropped out then I assume he is an entirely different "Bob".

Thanks!

Not that I'm aware of. Clients have to reconnect and get authorized somehow. How to do that is up to you and not WebSocket specific.
