Golang Gorilla Websocket stops receiving information at 120 seconds - go

Question

I'm currently trying to connect to the CEX.IO bitcoin exchange's websocket, but have been having issues not only with CEX.IO but with others too. All of my connections drop around the 120-second mark which makes me think there is some TTL problem going on. The Process() goroutine in the main package ends up just hanging and waiting for data from the readLoop which just stops receiving data. I've included some read-only API keys in the code so you can test if you'd like.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"bitbucket.org/tradedefender/cryptocurrency/exchange-connector/cexio"
"github.com/shopspring/decimal"
"encoding/json"
"time"
)
type OrderBook struct {
Asks []Ask
Bids []Bid
}
type Ask struct {
Rate decimal.Decimal
Amount decimal.Decimal
}
type Bid struct {
Rate decimal.Decimal
Amount decimal.Decimal
}
func main() {
cexioConn := new(cexio.Connection)
err := cexioConn.Connect()
if err != nil {
fmt.Errorf("error: %s", err.Error())
}
err = cexioConn.Authenticate("TLwYkktLf7Im6nqSKt6UO1IrU", "9ImOJcR7Qj3LMIyPCzky0D7WE")
if err != nil {
fmt.Errorf("error: %s", err.Error())
}
readChannel := make(chan cexio.IntraAppMessage, 25)
go cexioConn.ReadLoop(readChannel)
processor := Processor{
WatchPairs: [][2]string{
[2]string{
"BTC", "USD",
},
},
conn: cexioConn,
}
go processor.Process(readChannel)
// LOL
for {
continue
}
}
type Processor struct {
WatchPairs [][2]string
conn *cexio.Connection
}
func (p *Processor) Process(ch <-chan cexio.IntraAppMessage) {
p.conn.SubscribeToOrderBook(p.WatchPairs[0])
pingTimer := time.Now().Unix()
for {
fmt.Printf("(%v)\n", time.Now().Unix())
if (time.Now().Unix() - pingTimer) >= 10 {
fmt.Println("sending ping")
p.conn.SendPing()
pingTimer = time.Now().Unix()
}
readMsg := <- ch
output, _ := json.Marshal(readMsg.SocketMessage)
fmt.Println(string(output))
if readMsg.SocketMessage.Event == "ping" {
fmt.Println("sending pong")
p.conn.SendPong()
pingTimer = time.Now().Unix()
}
}
}

Answer 1

Solution was to remove the
for {
continue
}
at the end of the main function
