Description

Allow users to configure socket.io transport methods (websocket only, polling only, or both) through the clp-config.yml configuration file.

Background

Currently, socket.io uses the default transport configuration. Making this configurable would allow users to:

• Optimize performance for their specific environment
• Work around network restrictions that might block certain transport methods
• Troubleshoot connectivity issues more effectively

Proposed Configuration

Add a new configuration option in clp-config.yml to specify the allowed transport methods:

webui:
  socket_io:
    transport: "ws"  # Options: "ws", "polling", "both"
