what's the best way to send pings to relays in order to keep the connection alive and avoid reconnections?#asknostr

Kieran -- 11d

Websocket supports ping pong messages

but isn't that server initiated? so it would be the relay doing it not the client… some relays keep closing theconnection after some idle time which is dumb since this is nostr and we want to keep things up for newmessages, so the client needs to keep sending some shit to keep it going..

Yes, but idle connections are not free, it should be activity based not absolute timeout
