Websocket loss of connection causes hang?

My program uses wifi and websockets, if internet connection is lost then the program freezes (or crashes with watchdog). Here is simplified code:

void main()
{
      while(true)
      {
              //OTHER STUFF

              if(ws.is_connected() == true)
              {
                     led2 = 1;
                     sprintf(wstemp, "%f*%f*%f*%f", temp, trip_level, hyst_amount, wscontrol);
                      ws.send(wstemp); 
        
                      if(ws.read(ws_recv))
                      {
                            string check = ws_recv;
                             {
                                      char *wdi;
                                      wdi = strtok(ws_recv,"*");
                                       trip_level = atof(wdi);
                                       while(wdi != NULL)
                                        {
                                               hyst_amount = atof(wdi);
                                                wdi = strtok (NULL, "*");
                                         }
                              }
                       }
                       led2 = 0;
              } 
       }
}

Using a oscilloscope I can see the program spends a lot of time in the websocket.is_connected loop.
