Unable to create new connections to remote host due to being at maximum when using websockets
Problem
-- When using websockets, the connection count for a remote host continually increases until the limit defined in the remote host is reached, causing new connections to fail.
Resolution
* This is due to a known issue with the remote host failing to notice when websocket connections are closed. Please use the default limit of -1 (unlimited) in the HTTP/1.1 remote host for any hosts you connect to via a websocket.
