Description Ralf Sternberg CLA 2013-11-24 11:23:03 EST 
The assumption is that while server push is enabled, the user should be notified of any change in the application. This includes a connection failure.

Example: consider an emergency dashboard with server push constantly enabled. When the connections is interrupted, the server push would silently keep trying to reconnect. During this time, the operator is not notified of any server side incidents, and would believe everything is all right.

Solution: I'd suggest that after a couple of quick retries, the client should give up and send a new push request. This would raise the "Network Error" box immediately. When the connection is re-established, the push would succeed and a new server push request would automatically be issued after that.
