have-a-keep-alive#comment118529165_33927447
͏ “After all, asserting that a connection is "alive", only means that
you have performed some form of successful communication (past tense!).
͏ But it will be no guarantee that any, or all subsequent communication
will succeed (present/future tense).
͏ Therefore there really is no merit in doing this:
͏ At neither the TCP level, nor at the application level.
͏ And you're much better off deciding for:
͏ Either a robust retry-on-failure, or a crash-my-app approach:
͏ Than any other false-sense-of-security, which most people are
probably looking for.”
