Ping Support Websockets?

[Toorero]

I'm looking for a way to do the following things:

• specify ping interval to keep the websocket alive
• specify ping timeout after which a websocket will be closed

I was scrubbing through the websocket code but couldn't find any explicit mentioning or support of the Ping and Pong frames specified in RFC 6455. But then I tested the websocket implementation with websocat --ping-interval 1 --ping-timeout 2 -E --text ws://localhost:8080/ - and the connection didn't close, so there must be some support. What am I missing?

The ping pong is handled by the server.

[Toorero]

So I can't send a ping as a client with starlett to keep the connection open nor can I specify the timeout?

[Kludex]

With starlette you can't.

I see. That's too bad. Thanks for the reply though <3

Not really... That's the job of the server, not the web framework.
