title: Socket.io with flask-socketio python. How to set socket keepalive/timeout
body: <p>I am struggling to find any documentation about a timeout value for socket.io.  I am using //cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/socket.io/0.9.16/socket.io.min.js on the client and Flask-SocketIO on the server side.</p>
  
  <p>Here is how I am creating the socket:</p>
  
  <pre><code>namespace = '/coregrapher'
  
  var socket = io.connect('http://' + document.domain + ':' + location.port + namespace);
  
  socket.on('connect', function() {
      socket.emit('my event', {data: 'I\'m connected!'});
  });
  
  socket.on('my response', function(msg) {
      $('#result').append(msg.data);
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The issue is, if the server does not send anything to the client or visaversa for even one minute, the client disconnects and if the server tries to do another emit to the client, it fails because the client has already disconnected.  How can I make the client stay connected?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
