Hello,
I'm writing a little program which has to get a FQDN on his stdin and
return the IP on stdout, we can do it easily with gethostbyname call
but I would like to set up a timeout to this blocking system call. So
I read texts about this and I planed to use a hack with alarm and
setjmp/longjmp. My program works until there is a timeout, when it
occurs, all the gethostbyname calls which follow fail, backtrace in
gdb give me this :
#0 0xb7eac469 in pthread_setcanc eltype () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6
#1 0x080486d7 in dnslookup (request=0xbfe1 dc9c "free.fr") at dnsserver.c:53
#2 0x080488aa in main (argc=1, argv=0xbfe1df24 ) at dnsserver.c:102
I give you the code :
/* $Id: dnsserver.c,v 1.5 2006-01-31 20:10:30 quentin Exp $ */
#include <unistd.h>

#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <setjmp.h>
#include <signal.h>
#define REQUEST_SIZE 512
#define DNS_TIMEOUT 2 /* Set here the timeout for the gethostbyname call */
static jmp_buf env;
static void sighandler (int signum)
{
longjmp (env, 1);
}
static void dnslookup (char *request)
{
struct hostent *host;
signal (SIGALRM, sighandler);
if (setjmp (env) == 0) {
alarm (DNS_TIMEOUT);
host = gethostbyname (request);
signal (SIGALRM, SIG_DFL);
alarm (0);
if (host == NULL) {
switch (h_errno) {
case HOST_NOT_FOUND:
case NO_ADDRESS:
case NO_RECOVERY:
puts ("$error");
break;
case TRY_AGAIN:
puts ("$tryagain" );
break;
}
return;
}
puts (inet_ntoa (*((struct in_addr *) (host->h_addr)))); /* Display the address */
}
else { /* We come from the longjmp */
puts ("$timeout") ;
return;
}
}
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
char req [REQUEST_SIZE];
char *p;
/* the stdout is not a buffered stream */
setvbuf (stdout, NULL, _IONBF, 0);
for (;;) { /* Main loop */
if (fgets (req, REQUEST_SIZE, stdin) == NULL) {
exit (EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
if (strncmp (req, "$goodbye", 8) == 0) {
exit (EXIT_SUCCESS);
} else if (strncmp (req, "$hello", 6) == 0) {
puts ("$olleh");
continue;
}
p = strrchr (req, '\n');
*p = '\0';
dnslookup (req);
}
/* NOTREACHED */

Sorry, but you're asking in the wrong place (gethostbyname( ) is not
standard C -- it's POSIX).
Try news:comp.unix. programmer.

using the gethostbyname function seems to noticeably slow down pages.
some of the comments in php.net's gethostbyname entry suggest using a
version that caches the result, but those versions also only speedup
subsequent calls to gethostbyname - the first call is still as slow as
ever.
so is there anything i can do to speed this up? perhapes i can just
implement a function equivalent to gethostbyname using fsockopen, or
something?

Hi all,
I just compiled Python 2.3.2 on Linux Mandrake 8.0, upgrading from Python 2.1. I
have one problem that I can't figure out: when I wanted to get "the" IP address
of the current host with Python 2.1, I did:

I've tried using
socket.setdefaulttimeout(timeout)
to set the default timeout to 'timeout' for all sockets. The part
that's not clear to me, is that if this will affect
socket.gethostbyname(). In my observation the timeout setting did not
affect the DNS lookup.
It might be my misunderstanding of the semantics here: would

Hello,
I have one problem, and can think of two possible solutions but I
can't manage to make them work. I'm open to other suggestions if you
thik is better.
The main function calls sendSocket, but I don't know
how to tell it where to send the socket. ( I think I'm messing it up
with pointers)

Hi,
I need a quick solution to make my application behave correctly when one
of these timeouts occurs. I have some logic in session_start but when
the authentication cookie timeouts the user is redirected to login page
and after successful login the session is not started. I'd like to have
one timeout and when it occurs the user must login and then the new
session is started. TIA.
Regards,
mircu

I seem to be getting conflicting gethostbyname behavior on different
servers. Before going into detail, here's the script I'm using:
<?
$address = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;
$rev = implode('.',array_reverse(explode('.', $address)));
$lookup = "$rev.l1.spews.dnsbl.sorbs.net";

I have the following snippet of code. On some platforms, the delete

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
