Since the socket exists on the client you would have to send a close command from the server to the client

the problem is that sometimes the client disconnects and the server is not notified (the post call to /_ah/channel/disconnected/ never happend) – alei May 06 '13 at 20:56
That does happen, there is a timeout you can set on the client as well as sending a "heartbeat" from the server to see if the connection is live – May 07 '13 at 07:44
