I've noticed that the new sftp_readnb and sftp_writenb functions don't ever seem to block. I profiled the libssh2_sftp_nonblock sample and I am seeing half of the time still spent blocking, even when doing the largest reads possible.
Looking through the code, I think the reason is because _libssh2_sftp_read, the internal function for reading, calls libssh2_sftp_packet_requirev to acquire the data packet, which in turn calls libssh2_sftp_packet_read in blocking mode. This means that the entire data packet will be read in blocking mode, which is the behavior I am observing. Is this the correct assessment, or am I crazy? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
