Chrome/Mozilla killing Websocket connection after 1 minute - google-chrome

After I realized this, I set an interval timer on the client side that sends a dummy message over the Websocket connection every 45 seconds, and the server responds back in kind. (Go server, Gorilla WS, React).
But Chrome and Firefox both kill the connection regardless of traffic. I get the Websocket status code of 'close 1005 (no status)' on the server when it occurs. For testing I tried sending a message every second and it was killed regardless.
How do I keep the connection alive? Maybe on the client side's WS handler register a onclose handler that reconnects?

Mediasoup: Connection state changed to disconnected a few tens of seconds after connected

We use mediasoup to create our products. However, I am having problems with the transport connection.
The client transport connection state goes disconnected a few eights seconds after connection.
The following log will be output in the chrome console.
mediasoup-client:Transport connection state changed to connected
However, the following log will be output in the chrome console a few eights seconds later
mediasoup-client:Transport connection state changed to disconnected
If the NewProducer is present before the disconnection, the above will not happen.
Do you know the possible causes?
Resolved. I changed the AWS security policy according to the topic below and it worked.
You’ll also need to configure your AWS Security Group to allow TCP/UDP on whatever port range you’re using.

WebSocket timeout in Firefox (and Chrome)

I use PHP WebSockets.
I've set a long timeout on the server:
protected function connected ($user) {
socket_set_option($user->socket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, array('sec'=>7200, 'usec'=>0));
socket_set_option($user->socket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDTIMEO, array('sec'=>7200, 'usec'=>0));
}
Nevertheless Firefox disconnects after about 5 minutes. I strongly suspect that this is because a timeout in Firefox.
What is the exact value of the timeout? How my JaveScript can access it? Can I change it?
The same applies to Chrome.
What you are setting with SO_RCVTIMEO & SO_SNDTIMEO is the timeout for socket send and recv. If within the set time, the send and recv do not perform their actions, error is returned.Its not related to the disconnect you are seeing
The disconnect that you see is probably due to inactivity on the TCP connection. Either the client or the server is setting up a idle line timeout of 5 minutes. May be you should setup application level keep-alive messages to keep the TCP connection intact.

nodejs runtime stops responding when testing under stress

I'm basically checking all the routes via request module with mocha.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/request
I'm doing a stress test, by opening two console windows side by side and running them simultaneously. Most of the time tests are successful, but then an instant comes when the tests fail without timeout error, and from postman I've this specific route that stops responding.
it happens once in around 7 times, and I'm wondering what I could do to figure this out.
Edit:
Increased to 4 console windows running tests simultaneously, they ran fine couple of times but then start to timeout.
even no console output on app.get, app.post etc. routes.
Any suggestions?
Edit
Caught some request errors based on the suggestion within tests.
Uncaught AssertionError: { [Error: connect ECONNREFUSED]
code: 'ECONNREFUSED',
errno: 'ECONNREFUSED',
syscall: 'connect' } == null
The corresponding code for the above error is
request({url: endpoint + "/SignIn?emailAddress=" + emailAddress + "&password=" + password}, function (error, response, body) {
assert.equal(error, null);
Edit 2
Dig further deep with console statements and noticed the mysql connection callback was not called. Attaching a screenshot and noticing some connection limit, is it because of this? I'm using connection pools though.
logs says forcing close of threads.
Probable Answer:
This thread helped with the issue.
https://github.com/felixge/node-mysql/issues/405
I set the waitForConnections: false and then started to see the error ->
[Error: No connections available.]
so it seems to me that system was waiting for the connections but test runner didn't wait and ended up with timeout error.
It also seems there's some limit on the maximum number of connections, though I was calling release on connections after each query, not sure how this works on production systems out there? do we have a limit there?
You are running out of tcp connections. You need to make few changes in system and application level, to make it handle more load.
1. Change your connection setting to keepAlive, wherever possible.
2. On unix, you have ulimit, i.e., the maximum number of file handles that any process can hold at any instant. Remember, in unix every socket is also a file.
3. Manage your time out settings, based on the response time of your database server or another web server.
You'll have to do similar changes at each level of handling request, if you have a multi-tier architecture.

How can I configure HAProxy to work with server sent events?

I'm trying to add an endpoint to an existing application that sends Server Sent Events. There often may be no event for ~5 minutes. I'm hoping to configure that endpoint to not cut off my server even when the response has not been completed in ~1min, but all other endpoints to timeout if the server fails to respond.
Is there an easy way to support server sent events in HAProxy?
Here is my suggestion for HAProxy and SSE: you have plenty of custom timeout options in HAProxy, and there is 2 interesting options for you.
The timeout tunnel specifies timeout for tunnel connection - used for Websockets, SSE or CONNECT. Bypass both server and client timeout.
The timeout client handles the situation where a client looses their connection (network loss, disappear before the ACK of ending session, etc...)
In your haproxy.cfg, this is what you should do, first in your defaults section :
# Set the max time to wait for a connection attempt to a server to succeed
timeout connect 30s
# Set the max allowed time to wait for a complete HTTP request
timeout client 50s
# Set the maximum inactivity time on the server side
timeout server 50s
Nothing special until there.
Now, still in the defaults section :
# handle the situation where a client suddenly disappears from the net
timeout client-fin 30s
Next, jump to your backend definition and add this:
timeout tunnel 10h
I suggest a high value, 10 hours seems ok.
You should also avoid using the default http-keep-alive option, SSE does not use it. Instead, use http-server-close.

How to deal with lost client connections in Apache Qpid + MRg

Using the c++ client, it seems that if for some reason the connection is lost to the server, for example through power failure, manual termination, network , then the server does not detect that the client is lost. An open connection (or half open) is kept. How can this be prevented? Is there some server side heartbeat option?
The client connection to the broker has a connection option called heartbeat. Heartbeat option values are a integer representing time in seconds. Heartbeats keepalive frames are sent every N seconds. If two successive heartbeats are missed the connection is considered to be lost.
