random extra websocket connection to phoenix app? - websocket

Question

Simple user websocket with a single channel. I copied this code word for almost out of the how to section in the phoenix guidelines.
The first request is mine - it contains the user auth token from a facebook login response.
As you can see this comes from phoenix.js file and it works just fine... I am able to send and receive messages - no problem.
The second seems to be coming from somewhere else entirely and I have no clue why!?
frame.js which is not a file of mine, so must be part of some sort of node_module dependancy, The js is condensed into one line and not exactly legible.
I also get this in the logs every 5 seconds or so:
phoenix_1 | [info] CONNECT GametimeWeb.UserSocket
phoenix_1 | Transport: :websocket
phoenix_1 | Connect Info: %{}
phoenix_1 | Parameters: %{"token" => "", "vsn" => "2.0.0"}
phoenix_1 | :invalid - this is the response the socket returns I have jsut inspected it and printed to logs.
phoenix_1 | [debug] invalid
phoenix_1 | [info] Replied GametimeWeb.UserSocket :error
What am I doing wrong here?
Phoenix 1.4.10
UserSocket:
defmodule GametimeWeb.UserSocket do
use Phoenix.Socket
require Logger
## Channels
channel "sports:*", GametimeWeb.SportsChannel
# Socket params are passed from the client and can
# be used to verify and authenticate a user. After
# verification, you can put default assigns into
# the socket that will be set for all channels, ie
#
# {:ok, assign(socket, :user_id, verified_user_id)}
#
# To deny connection, return `:error`.
#
def connect(%{"token" => token}, socket) do
# max_age: 1209600 is equivalent to two weeks in seconds
case Phoenix.Token.verify(socket, "user socket salt", token, max_age: 1209600) do
{:ok, user_id} ->
{:ok, assign(socket, :user, user_id)}
{:error, reason} ->
Logger.debug IO.inspect(reason)
:error
end
end
endpoint code:
defmodule GametimeWeb.Endpoint do
use Phoenix.Endpoint, otp_app: :gametime
socket "/socket", GametimeWeb.UserSocket,
websocket: true, # or list of options
longpoll: false

Answer 1

That is the helper socket for the live reload feature. It won't be opened when MIX_ENV is prod.
