Session Refresh: Websites that use WebSocket video streaming (i.e PiKVM) keep refreshing every few seconds

[plia7]

Hello,

I'm using CyberKit alpha 0.0.8-alpha on my iPhone 12 Pro Max on iOS 14.4.1 with Taurine jailbreak.

When I login to the PiKVM website, it refreshes the website every few seconds. PiKVM is like a remote control software website that allows you to control another machine so it's vital not to be interrupted with a browser refresh every few seconds.

More from it's documentation (it's open source):

https://docs.pikvm.org/api/#session-based-cookie-auth

"WebSocket events¶

Most of the data during the user's work with pikvm is transmitted over WebSocket. This includes mouse events, keyboard input, change the state of the various subsystems (such as ATX and Mass Storage Drive). Each event type will be described in the corresponding paragraph for its component. When connecting via WebSocket, the client receives current states as separate events. Then, as the states change, it will receive new events.

In a normal situation, opening a socket session triggers the video streamer to start. The streamer works as long as there is at least one client connected via WebSocket. After the last connection is closed and the client timeout expires, the streamer will also be terminated."

For comparison, if I enter the same PiKVM website through iOS Safari, then it doesn't refresh the website every few seconds which is what's expected.

Thank you.

@UInt2048 Here is an example what the web interface looks like (you can see the reviewer is using FireFox based browser too):

You see after the reviewer logs in and clicks KVM, he can see a Windows desktop screen which he can interact with? It doesn't do any refreshes.
So when I access the same web interface from CyberKit, the login page doesn't have the refresh issue, I login, then the splash screen doesn't have the refresh issue, I click "KVM" and that's when it shows the desktop screen (probably when the websocket video streaming session actually starts), but every 10 seconds, it refreshes the page.
If I enter the same KVM screen through iOS Safari then it doesn't refresh every 10 seconds and keeps the session/page alive.

Hope this clarifies the issue.

Thank you.
