Comment (by cohosh):

 This is a really good question, and one that we've worked on with the
 other proxy implementations.

 There are a few things we can look for to close a connection. In the
 Google API, there should be an `OnClose` event: https://webrtc.org
 /getting-started/data-channels#open_and_close_events
 that we can add a listener to. You can see that in our Javascript proxy
 code [https://gitweb.torproject.org/pluggable-transports/snowflake-
 webext.git/tree/proxypair.js#n91 here].

 We also want to close if there is an error (see
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/pluggable-transports/snowflake-
 webext.git/tree/proxypair.js#n175 here]).

 We also added a timeout as an extra check. We can do this because the
 underlying layer is sending keep-alive messages every 10 seconds. You can
 see that in the existing code [https://gitweb.torproject.org/pluggable-
 transports/snowflake-webext.git/tree/proxypair.js#n160 here].

 We also want to close the connection if it is closed or we receive an
 error from the WebSocket side. See [https://gitweb.torproject.org
 /pluggable-transports/snowflake-webext.git/tree/proxypair.js#n131 here].
