Hi,
This morning I have applied a patch sent in by bacek++ to get
socket I/O in Parrot up and running again. I also did a port of
that to Win32, based off the work by bacek and from the previous
Win32 implementation.
I'm glad to have this, but there's probably a couple of things that
should be done. I'm scribbling them here to get feedback and in
hope that @other will pick them up. ;-)
1) Apparently it all works well on Linux-y systems, however there's
an issue with Win32. When I run parrot examples/io/httpd.pir, it
will serve pages, but the browser hangs without showing it after it
has served the page. If I hit Esc in the browser (which I guess
ends the connection), only then does it show the page. I have about
zero socket programming experience, so I'm not sure where to start
looking. Patches very welcome. This is ticket #497.
It might be a userspace buffering issue. Possibly, the server is
keeping alive the connection for another request but failed to flush
its output, and resetting the connection causes it to close the
filehandle (flushing the output).
What happens if you telnet in and HEAD / HTTP/1.0?
Josh
