RE: Socket timeout value

Mike,

Take a look at the select() function... it enables you to detect time-outs
(and is described on Scotts pages).

Kind regards,
Paul

Subject: Socket timeout value


I am creating a socket, connecting to the socket, and sending data over the
socket to a Java socketserver.  I have a problem that if the socketserver
ends during the transmission, the RPG program continues to run as if it is
still connected to the socket.  I reviewed the "Best Socket Tutorial On The
Web" (you know, Scott Klement's tutorial) and couldn't find anything as far
as timeouts.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks...

Mike
