Hi,
I am seeing the a random behavior with persistent http
connection. Any help on this would be appreciated.
The scenario:
1. Got a http server implemented using libevent in
C++
2. There is a http client using Java Script.
3. The Javascript creates an EventSource (Which internally
generates a http GET request) for setting a persistent data channel between the
Java Script & the server.
4. The server stores this channel(req got through
the call back for a specific URL) & uses this channel to send data at some
intervals. And to do so it uses “evhttp_send_reply_chunk”
I am observing the following issue.
1. Some times when the http server writes some data
to this channel, the http server crashes.
2. Sometimes the Java script gets a error
notification that the Eventsource has closed unexpectedly.
Is the persistent connection created by eventsource object
is handled by libeevent http server as persistent till the
“evhttp_send_reply_end”
is called?
Regards,
Alap
