[Interest] QWebSocketServer - server randomly stopsacceptingconnections

[Jason H]

Yes. Gone are the days of security from obscurity. Minutes after standing up a AWS ec2 instance i was getting scanned. Easy way to get rid of most of that is don't be on a common port like 8080, port scans are less frequent but still happen. Also maybe deploy a reverse proxy to validate requests. 

But let's get that patch committed.
