The connection to GAE is not persistent and can drop. Reconnect when that happens, as long as the connection from the client is still active.
We need to consider the fact that while a reconnection is happening, the client may be sending requests that was relayed to the old connection, which is not going through. In that case these requests are queued and will be retried when the new connection is available.
Since we are no longer tying the lifecycles of the two connections, we cannot automatically terminate one when another is terminated. Also we need to explicitly control how WHOIS connection is terminated, not depending on the HTTP connection header.
