Subject: Send a comment to every connected client every 15 seconds
X-Git-Url: https://git.cworth.org/git?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0d23b6be462bcdbad9e20b35d78580e78bd7f4ea;p=empires-server

Send a comment to every connected client every 15 seconds

This prevents timeouts when the client receives nothing from the
server. For example, firefox appeares to give up on the server when it
receives nothing for two minutes.
