Optionally ping the other end of a websocket connection periodically, and close the connection if no response is received (to supplement kernel-level failure detection for the TCP connections, and to keep some proxies from dropping the connection).
Fixes #1640
Closes #1642
Closes #1938
@takluyver and @astawiarski, your changes are included here. @awong1900, you asked for a client-side
ping()
method in #1640. Do you really need manual control of pings (and responses) or is thisping_interval
andping_timeout
enough for you?
