Persitant WebSocket connection between different pages

Can we maintain the same websocket connection between two different pages in the same tab. I am using torandIO2 for websockets. To be clear below is the flow:

User opens home page and new websocket connection will be established and he will be shown online th other users viewing this page.
User clicks on some link and the page reloads causing the termination of his connection. Ofcourse I can open up a new connection when he open a new page. But this will reflect in constant change in his state(online/offline) to other users in the network.

We have no restriction on the server which would stop this. You will want to contact the user community for the server-side application to see what it is capable of doing and how you would implement this in code. I personally would use JavaScript client-side to do browser refreshes, which can connect to the server via HTTP and fetch new data.
