Gremlex hangs attempting to connect unless "path" specified in configuration

[joeapearson]

If I specify a config of:

config :gremlex,
  host: "127.0.0.1",
  port: 8182,
#  path: "/gremlin",
  pool_size: 10,
  secure: false

(With the path property commented out), then Gremlex hangs preventing the application from starting up. I guess what is happening is that the socket is connecting to some default path (maybe /) and then some expected subsequent communication isn't happening as expected. Is this about right? Any more clues as to what is happening?

The fix is trivial - just specify a path in the config and it's fine! It'd be nice to have the code catch this condition and fail gracefully though, which is what I'd propose in an MR.

Lastly; it looks like this repo hasn't been touched in a while. Let me know if this project is still alive and accepting MRs :)!

If this project isn't being actively maintained; can I put in a request to either take it over or get enough access to start accepting MRs?

I haven't contributed to this project in a while so I'm not really sure about it's current state and/or future plans.
Perhaps @barakyo can answer this.
