Django channels websocket disconnects after handshake

I am building a simple chat room following examples of django channels. Everything worked like a charm yesterday and I managed to create a chatroom and even managed to chat in there. All of a sudden without any change in my code the Websocket started disconnecting immediately after connection and handshake.

My setup:
Django == 1.10.5
Python == 2.7
channels == 1.1.8
asgi-redis == 1.4.2
daphne == 1.3.0

My consumers.py looks like this:

consumers.py:
@channel_session
def ws_connect(message):
    room = message.content['path'].strip("/")
    message.channel_session['room'] = room
    Group("chat").add(message.reply_channel)
    message.reply_channel.send({"accept": True})

And the frontend part :

 $(function() {
        // When we're using HTTPS, use WSS too.
        var ws_scheme = window.location.protocol = "ws";
        var chatsock = new WebSocket(ws_scheme + '://' + window.location.host + window.location.pathname);


        chatsock.onmessage = function(message) {
            var data = JSON.parse(message.data);
            var chat = $("#chat");
            var ele = $('<tr></tr>');
            console.log(data);

            ele.append(
                $("<td></td>").text(data.timestamp)
            );
            ele.append(
                $("<td></td>").text(data.handle)
            );
            ele.append(
                $("<td></td>").text(data.message)
            );

            chat.append(ele)
        };

        $("#chatform").on("submit", function(event) {
            var time = new Date();
            var string = time.getHours() + ":" + time.getMinutes() + ":" + time.getSeconds();
            // var timestamp = time.getHourMinuteSecond();
            var message = {
                timestamp: string,
                handle: $('#handle').val(),
                message: $('#message').val()
            };
            console.log("submit");
            chatsock.send(JSON.stringify(message));
            $("#message").val('').focus();
            return false;
        });
    });

Maybe an update in some technology is out. I am struggling to find out why this happens. In settings.py I have the following configuration for the redis channel layer:

CHANNEL_LAYERS = {
    "default": {
        "BACKEND": "asgi_redis.RedisChannelLayer",
        "CONFIG": {
            "hosts": [("localhost", 6379)],
        },
        "ROUTING": "config.routing.channel_routing",
    },
}

I have another websocket logic for notifications which is also disconnecting right after handshake. I tried updating Django to 1.11. but no luck. In routing.py of the chat app:

chat_routing = [
    route("websocket.connect", consumers.ws_connect),
    route("websocket.receive", consumers.ws_message),
    route("websocket.disconnect", consumers.ws_disconnect),
]

I am running on Linux Ubuntu 16.04 and the only thing I updated in the last few days is Chrome version. So any ideas what should I do?

Turned out to be a Google Chrome update issue. probably going a version back will fix the problem if I can do it but that's the issue because I tried it on Mozilla and it still works like a charm.
