Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Changed the connect method to a public API, so that a
 user can manually connect/reconnect. Refresh doesn't work if the user
 manually closed the connection, forcing the user to recreate the Reconnecting
 Websocket Object and redefine all methods for it. This pull request solves
 this problem.

+Manually Opening, Closing and Refreshing connections
+----------------------------------------
+
+When you create a new `ReconnectingWebSocket`, the `WebSocket` connection is created and opened for you. In the case that you need to manually close a connection, simply run the `close()` method. To open the connection back up, use `open()`. If you need to close and immediately reopen the connection, use `refresh()`.
