Also, I think client and server would use the same method.
As I said in Council - I think using whitespace as the keepalive is
fine (and that's what the network does already) but in the case that
the server is about to disconnect the client due to silence, it
should
perform a ping first and only disconnect if it doesn't receive a
reply
- 199 will always work, or 198 if that's been negotiated. I believe
this agrees with what Dave says.
Right.
Dave.
