[FIX] web: add exponential backoff strategy for lost connection
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Before this commit, the web client had a naive strategy to handle lost
connections: it tried to poll the server every 2 seconds until a rpc
succeeds.

This works quite well from the perspective of the user, but may be a problem
from the perspective of the server.  If a server is down for a longish period,
then each users active tabs will then perform a request every 2 seconds. This
means that the server will be progressively hammered by many requests, which
will clutter the logs, and make it more difficult to gracefully recover.

With this commit, we simply exponentially increase the delay each time, and add
a little jitter to give a better distribution.
