Hi folks,
I am writing a small network application that uses TCP sockets. My
application is the accepts connections via the AcceptConnectio n function
of a server socket and creates a client socket from it. My question is,
if someone disconnects from my server, how can I detect this? Checking
the Connected property of the System.Net.Sock et object does not seem to
solve the problem. Thank you!

Hi there...
The Connected property will return the latest known state of the Socket.
There's no way the server detects a client has gone offline... unless you
program it. A couple of months ago I had to develop this app (based on
TCP/IP) and I had the same question as you do. My solution was to implement
some sort of "keep alive" message send from the server to the client in a
time based frequency (it's a parameter in my app's config file). I suppose
that you had to define the protocol that is gonna be used throughout your
application, well consider having this "pinging" message. It's worked
excellent to me.
As a matter of fact, if you issue the netstat command at the prompt having
the client disconnected you still see "the connection" it's a funny thing
but it's true. Have a nice day.
Hope this might help you,
Regards,

Hi Angel,
I have seen this behavior after disconnecting the client and using
"netstat -aon" (usually the state will be TIME_WAIT or FIN_WAIT_2 or
CLOSE_WAIT). I'm not really sure what these states are for other than to
alert the OS that those ports can't be used just yet (read that
somewhere on MS's site). I wonder how chat clients do it, they know when
a user logs out.
I guess I could just send a ping message to the client to see if the
client disconnected or not, though it seems to me that this
functionality should already be a part of the API.
Thank you for your help,
Jason

My problem is not really python specific but as I do my implementation
in python I hope someone here can help me.
I have two programs that talk through a socket. Here is the code :

sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
sock.settimeout(5.0)

Socket created with constructor prarmeters Internetwork, Stream and TCP
everything else is left at the default parameters and options except linger
may be changed as I find appropriate.
I am using the socket asynchronously by calling the BeingSend and

asynchronously if possible.

Hi,
In an attempt to create a full-blown webcrawler I've found myself
writing a wrapper around the Socket class in an attempt to make it
completely async, supporting timeouts and some scheduling mechanisms.
I use a non-blocking approach for this, using the call to 'poll' to
support the async mechanism - rather than the 'begin' and 'end'
functions. I already found that connecting doesn't set the
"isconnected" variable correctly...

socket.makefile() may lose data when "connection reset by peer".
and socket.recv() will never lose the data.
change the "1" to "0" in the client code to see the difference.
confirmed on both windows and linux.
so I guess there is a problem with makefile().

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
