lo there,
i have a simple app that connects to a socket to get info from a server
i looks like this
serverhost = 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xx x'
serverport = 9520
aeris_sockobj = socket.socket(s ocket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STR EAM)
aeris_sockobj.c onnect((serverh ost,serverport) )
while 1:
do this or that with socket,
send and receive info.
yadda yadda yadda
works well, but sometimes the server drops the connection.
so, what i need is something that will let me know if the connection
is still ok, if not will reconnect.
what i thought, since it only lets you connect on a certain port one at
a time,
that i could use a try-except to connect every time, if it could not
connect (because it already is) then i would just continue on. But if
it is not connected, it would reconnect.
that is what brings me here. Seems like it would work, but is there a
better way ? this kinda seems like a dirty hack.
any opinions ?
thanks.

If the server has closed the connection, then a recv() on the
socket will return an empty string "", and a send() on the
socket will raise an exception.

I don't see why the normal send() and recv() semantics aren't
sufficient.

like this ?
databack = aeris_sockobj.r ecv(2048)
if databack:
view_msg = 'caught request acknowlage %s bytes \n' %
len(databack)
else:
view_msg = 'fail to recieve data from aeris server\n'
then put the reconnect in the else: block ?
thanks

Yes, if the problem is that the host closes the connection,
that should work. Modulo the broken indentation and
line-wrapping. ;)

Often normal send() and recv() semantics have been mistaught.
An alert alien, looking at other common APIs in isolation,
might reasonably wonder whether there is some sort of
still_ok_to_use () sort of check as part of TCP. As it happens,
of course, that doesn't fit with the rest of socket networking,
which takes the "modernist" approach of trying send() or recv(),
and reporting any exception.
On most Unices there are some obscure API features that can be
used to generate a SIGPIPE under some vaguely specified error
conditions (e.g. TCP keepalive timeout). I've only read about
them and never tried to use them, since I couldn't see anything
in the description of the features that was any benefit over
the nomral send() and recv() usage.

hey there, i have a question about this solution.
if i have a
message = socket.recv()
in the script, and the socket connection drops, will the
socket.recv() just wait forever for something to come across
the internet port? or will it know if the connection is dropped?
thanks.

As I said before, if the socket is closed by the remote host,
recv() will return "".
I don't know what you mean by "drops" and "dropped" in this
context. If you want a useful answer to your question, you'll
have to define your terms precisely.

oh, sorry, what i mean by dropped is that the server i am connecting to
can close the connection. If that happens, i need to know about it.
i also need to know about it if the server i am connecting to just
dies.
if recv() returns "" is that the same as NONE ?
again, sorry, i am still kinda new at this.
I mean can the value be tested true or false?
thanks

I use a TcpClient object to connect to a local (asynchron) socket server.
Once the connection is established, I ask every second if there is a new

If the connection was established successfully at the beginning and ends for
some reason after a certain time, I have to reconnect to the socket server.
So, what I need therefore is a TcpClient attribute such as "Connected" that

What is the best way to determine if a socket is still connected?
Because I want to cancel all my "output" in the client if the socket is

What is the best way to determine if a socket is still active on the

and I don't want that to happen.

Hi, I have synchronous communications between a server and client. To save bandwith the connection must persist. So the socket must stay open and only be re-opened in case of communications failure. To simulate failure, the server disconnects the socket. However, the client socket parameter shows an open socket: socket.connected is true, socket. Active is true, socket.poll(1,selectRead) is true.
