Description

WebSocket connection can be extended by trigger PutWebSocket periodically (typically with empty message), but it doesn't help when server goes down.

Currently if a server restarted, ConnectWebSocket has to be restarted manually to establish new connection.

Ideally, this situation should be recovered automatically. If existing session ids can be reused, it'd be even better as it recovers transparently.
