Problem
The current mechanism of pushing the WebSocket responses to subscription channels is prone to blocking.
For example, if one subscribes to the Ticker for multiple markets but does not consume all the ticker events from all channels (eg. at some point you are no longer interested in a specific ticker and you stop reading from its channel) then the whole
handleMessage
function will block at the point where the specific channel has reached maximum capacity (100) and cannot push any more messages. This will prevent further consumption of WebSocket responses as well.Solution
