Websockets ping/pong mechanism

Ask the Experts and Postman Tips

I am trying to use postman websockets to connect to my websocket server. So far it’s going great.
However, my server sends ping messages to connected clients every x seconds to verify that connection is not faulty. Because this mechanism is not implemented in Postman websockets connection is getting terminated by the server

My question is does Postman websockets provide this functionality?
If yes how do I configure Postman websockets to respond to ping messages?

Any input is my appreciated

Ok, I confirm that this functionality is implemented in Postman websockets. Previously when I was testing there was a bug in my own code. After fixing it I can see that ping messages are receiving their pongs hence keeping the connection alive
