Hi All,

When trying to upload a file bigger than 1MB (not only, see flow below) I always get the famous "_ **Connection lost** _" message.  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/5/b/5bfe23f577c4309375b61684c062c6fe87b1a900.png)

Although this issue has been discussed numerous times before, it might be possible to address it, until it can be resolved (WebSocket 3.0?):  
Why not **rename** the " **Connection lost**" message instead, to something like "Please wait" or "Loading"?  
Most likely it will eventually return the desired output as the web-socket is being automatically replaced with a new one. Couldn't find this system message in `settings.js` to rename.

My flow (try upload files bigger than 1MB):

[upload.json](https://discourse.nodered.org/uploads/short-url/3oN1lLMKpmpmLmm5PWasCLNqaz6.json) (292.6 KB)

Thoughts? Thanks!

This is posted by an error being generated on the socket... it doesn't know what is going on - only that there is an error. So all it can do is report that. It may or may not return... but at that point it is indeed lost.
