A few problems with reconnection cropped up in the review of PR #307.
We should allow for the hanging GET to fail with StatusMethodNotAllowed.
This simply means that the server does not support sending notifications
or requests over the GET, which is allowed in the spec.
Also, we should fix the initial delay of the hanging GET request: it
should start with 0 delay. Fix the math for this and subsequent
attempts. Incidentally, this makes the tests take 3s on my machine, down
from 9s.
Also address some comments from #307.
