[Known]SotaMap Still handshakes while closed

Reproduction Rate: 100%
Blocker? YES
Details: the Sotamap browser widget still opens a connection and performs the TLS handshake on scene load, which still offers up user data (ip, online status, and scene load/change) to a remote server that is not under portalarium's direct control and not portalarium staff. Since a normal non-game access of sotamap does not have the delay of the tls handshake first then the request for map data, this can be used to identify any game connections vs any connections through a normal browser.

Steps to Reproduce:

Fire up wireshark.
Open up sota.
Watch as the last step in every scene load is to re-open and handshake the SSL connection with sotamap.
This should only be done when the widget is open.
