Why is it that when my wifi is interrupted and then comes back on, the webpage I’m on just stalls until being refreshed instead of coming back online?
In: Technology
Because the developers of the webpage didn’t account for your connection going poof. This would be more or less a nonissue for older request-response style webpages that don’t maintain a connection when nothing is being sent, but nowadays everything wants realtime communication and uses websockets for that – which get dropped like it’s hot when the connection dies. Is it possible to reconnect and recover the session automatically? Sure is, but it’s extra work and needs a bit more than an intern to design.
