Faye Buffering/Re-sending

[nVitius]

In the web client documentation, there is a section that says:

remember that Faye deals with buffering and re-sending messages for you

I couldn't find any other place in the docs that talked about how Faye handles this.

Hi @nVitius, I'd like to better understand what's confusing about this documentation -- what questions do you have that it could answer more clearly? What's missing from it? Where in the docs would you expect to find this topic covered?

I was wondering if it's the use of the word "remember" in particular that suggests this is explained elsewhere, or if it's just that this topic is not explained sufficiently at all.

@jcoglan Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
The quote that I referenced is on the Network Errors section of the browser client documentation.

I was trying to think through the flow my application would go through, but I wasn't clear on what to expect when a client lost connection. The doc there talks about how Faye handles re-sending messages, but I couldn't find a reference to how that works anywhere else on the docs.

I too would like to better understand this.
Have been using Faye in production for 10+ years, but recently have noticed that messages are missed over wifi.

I was surprised by this, because I was expecting Faye to buffer and resend.
Any thoughts on how to debug dropped messages would be appreciated, and/or suggestions how to tune the buffering/resending if this is possible.

Thanks for a great library!

@jcoglan Just pinging you on this.
