Server don't detect forced disconnect

[Zen-kun04]

When the client is suddently disconnected (like if his network disconnects or he connects to a VPN while he's connected to the websocket), it will be disconnected from the server (ok) but the server will still think he's still connected...

Any solution to this?

Do "ping" at some periodic interval

[Zen-kun04]

I already tried to do that. I first tried to do a ping from the client to the server, and then discovered that issue with connection issues. So the solution is normally to make a ping from the server to the client (which is kinda easy) but I need to set a timeout and there's the problem, I can't find out how to do that correctly.

I tried with asyncio.wait_for, signals & multiprocessing but nothing seems to be working correctly. Any idea on how to fix this please?
