Socket reconnect problem

37 New Member
Hello everybody

I am working on a client application that connects to a C# server using the Socket class. I am trying to handle the case in which the server goes offline, and I would like the client to try to reconnect after the previous connect times out.

Currently I try to re-connect on the IOErrorEvent.IO _ERROR event handler. The issue is that it seems like the socket is not trying to make another connection.

I've seen the following post http://stackoverflow.c om/questions/8939/actionscript-3-0-sockets-cant-reconnect , but I was wondering if somebody knows a method for achieving socket reconnection, or a good way to handle situations in which server is unavailable.

Thanks in advance

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 : <server> sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) sock.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1) sock.settimeout(5.0)

Hi all. I'm trying first time async socket connection. In all the examples i've seen, the server connection is closed when the message is complete. Is it common to close the connection after every message? Also, the message is complete, meaning there is no more data to read, only when the client closes the connection. My solution is to keep the connection open, and send a terminator / eof at the end of every message. Is it the right...

I have a client app sending messages over the socket on a certain port. In the client app: I do this for every message I need to send: 1. Create a socket and connect. 2. Send message 3. Close socket. The Listener requires that the client keep the socket connected while sending messages..which is every 20-30 seconds. My question is: Can I keep the connection open for the whole day? Connect

Greetings all. Here's a problem that's been driving me nuts for the last 48 hours. I'm hoping that someone has come across this before. I have a C# Application that reads a UDP broadcast (asynchronously). Then it repackages these UDP packets and sends them to a subscriber via TCP. Now, I can read the UDP stream all day long without the application

Hello. I'm writing an application that manages sockets and has a message protocol. I connect to another machine and I have to send and receive certain messages. I need the possibility to restart the communication. I tried with a simple socket.close method and trying to connect again as the first time, but the connection is refused.

I have an Asynchronous socket that sends data to a server for credit card approvals. The socket is kept alive by the server through a heartbeat that sends a "beat" every 90 seconds. Trouble is that the network is unreliable at times and thus the server will drop my connection from time to time. I need to code around this so I can reconnect to the server whenever this happens. THE PROBLEM: The Connected, Poll, and Available properties...

I'm trying to make something that once it is disconnected will automatically try to reconnect. I'll add some more features in later so it doesn't hammer the server but right now I just want to keep it simple and get that part working. The problem is that when I use sock.close I get an error message of Bad File Descriptor and if I either use shutdown or just go straight to reconnecting I get: Transport endpoint is already connected ...

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