Re: Sockets, signal and HTTP server

I suspected that, but I don't understand the chain of events. If I call
sigaction for SIGALRM and it returns 0, I would expect that I 'own'
SIGALRM, i.e. that SIGALRM will be passed to my handler, until I restore
the original signal handler (or another program further on the call stack
replaces my signal handler). Do you know why that's not the case?

Re: Sockets, signal and HTTP server

Yes, the HTTP server also uses signals, so your program is conflicting
with the way signals are handled in the HTTP server.

Consider using non-blocking sockets for timeouts rather than signals.
