Turning continuous replication on

[Lena Herrmann <le...@zeromail.org>]

Hi,

let's say I have a continuous replication running from a "client" to a 
"server", so that changes on the client are replicated to the server. 
When the server goes offline, I understand that the client tries to 
replicate every second, then every 2 seconds, every 4, 8, 16 and so on.

My question: Is there a way to turn the continuous replication back on 
in my JS application on the client? For example, checking every X 
seconds with setTimeout if I can load something from the server, and 
when the server is there again, I'd like to tell the client's continuous 
replication to go back to very small timeouts between attempts.

Thanks in advance

Lena
