Thank you for the report @shirazz !

I've looked ad the Parcel issue you linked, but I did not find any solution. Is there anything I can do?

Unfortunately i didn't find any fix and I had to use reconnecting web socket instead of this. I was thinking of rebuilding the same using either rollup or WebPack itself. Unfortunately I am at the edge of a critical release. but once i am done, i will look into this as i have plans to use this and i am pretty sure almost all the webpack users will be facing this issue.
