desk2/client/websocket.js

// Firefox does randomized exponential backoff for failed websocket requests
// This means we can't have [1. long downtime] and [2. fast reconnect] at the sime time
//
// We abuse the fact that HTTP requests are NOT backoffed, and use those to monitor 
// the server. When we see that the server is up - we attempt an actual websocket connection
//
// Details best described here: https://github.com/kee-org/KeeFox/issues/189
