Yes, but you need to enable it

[aeruhxi]

install(WebSockets) {
        pingPeriod = Duration.ofMinutes(5)
    }

Is this it?

[cy]

Note that setting pingPeriod enables server to client ping while client side pings are handled automatically unless you have raw websocket (responding and instance of WebSocketUpgrade starts raw websocket as well)

I see. Thanks!
