Unable to configure Ping interval from client and client continue to ping when closed.

[derek-kam]

According to the following Implementation Considerations in the specification

• Implementations SHOULD periodically issue pings to detect connection health
• The frequency of pings SHOULD be configurable
• Timeouts SHOULD be appropriate for the network environment
• Excessive pinging SHOULD be avoided to reduce network overhead

2 issues I can see in the latest Java SDK using SSE:

• I am not able to configure the frequency of the pings or disable it to reduce network overhead.
• The client will continue to ping the server even after I run client.close().

I can not identify where this would happen on the client side. We did have an implementation of a keep-alive mechanism using pings, but that is only handled on the server side (#430) and it was implemented after you raised this issue.

If you are still experiencing this issue, can you please provide a reproducer or pointers where this happens?
