The web-stomp documentation explicitly lists heartbeats as a missing
feature, because they do not work with SockJS. Therefore heartbeats must
be disabled when using this client.

Heartbeats must be agreed upon by both parties. The broker heartbeat
configuration will be suggested during protocol negotiation, but the
broker may not insist on this value.
