Ok friends, I'll need some help and eyes on this.
As I mentioned above, the check is bad and the patch below[1] is what I think
will rectify this. Do note that this is almost a revertion of the
src/transport.c 1.6 commit by me: "Eberhard Mattes' fix for
libssh2_packet_read() for when reading very small chunks at a time.".
But... with this applied I still get a hang repeatedly! That flaw was not the
only one lurking.
This second hang (busy-loop) occurs when select() in scp_nonblock.c returns 1
because the socket is *writeable* but not readable (I edited the example
somewhat to give me this info). It will then make the loop continue to
libssh2_channel_read() which will returns swiftly with LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN
since it couldn't recv() anything from the socket and back to select() again
that returns 1...
Why on earth does it suddenly turn writable? It seems to have at various times
but I've not yet managed to get scp_nonblock to copy my 85MB test file over
localhost! ;-O
Anyway, I'll sleep on it now but if you have any input or suggestions, please
speak up!
