Misleading error message Unable to retrieve auth string from channel-authorization endpoint - received status: 0 from /pusher/auth. Clients must be authorized to join private or presence channels.

Currently we're running into the Clients must be authorized to join private or presence channels. exception in our Rails application.

It's linking to the authorizing users documentation, which is great. 👍

However, given that we see status: 0 in the error, it does not seem like this is indeed an authorization but a network issue.

Is this assumption correct?
If it is, we'd expect not to raise an error but running into the connection state unavailable-logic which would retry the thing it's trying to do until it works.

Also the behaviour should then be documented.
