Bug#599136: [Mutt] #3491: hangs when IP address changes
#3491: hangs when IP address changes --+- Reporter: antonio@… | Owner: mutt-dev Type: defect| Status: new Priority: trivial | Milestone: Component: mutt | Version: 1.5.21 Keywords:| --+- Comment(by petr_p): I don't think mutt (or any generic application) should watch local IP addresses. This is job for kernel to close stream connections after loosing local address. Though mutt should be able to interrupt network operation on user request. If server becomes unresponsive, or connection is to slow, it's useful to be able to abort e.g. fetching e-mail body. I think simple SIGINT handler could set a flag and EINTRed syscall loop could break on the flag. Also there could be possibility to adjust network time-out (SO_RCVTIMEO, SO_SNDTIMEO) if default system-wide value is not suitable (like connect_timeout exists for establishing a connection). -- Ticket URL: http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3491#comment:2 Mutt http://www.mutt.org/ The Mutt mail user agent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Any change that you could have a look at this? -- Ticket URL: http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3491#comment:1 Mutt http://www.mutt.org/ The Mutt mail user agent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

#3491: hangs when IP address changes --+- Reporter: anto...@… | Owner: mutt-dev Type: defect| Status: new Priority: trivial | Milestone: Component: mutt | Version: 1.5.21 Keywords:| --+- Forwarding from http://bugs.mutt.org/599136 {{{ I use mutt with an IMAP server (imap.crustytoothpaste.net, running Dovecot). My IMAP connection is always encrypted. I'm running mutt on my laptop, so often I forget to quit mutt before I put the lid down. When I resume my laptop, I am often at another location with a different IP address. When I hit . to refresh the buffer list or pretty much anything else, mutt becomes unresponsive and I cannot do anything, even quit, for some amount of time (probably until the network times out). Even Ctrl-C doesn't work. I'm forced to wait or use Ctrl-\. I'd really appreciate it if mutt could be more responsive in this case. I would prefer if it would detect that the network address had changed or even that the connection it once had does not exist anymore. I would even be satisfied if I could just quit and restart mutt (even if I had to interrupt it with Ctrl-C to make it responsive again). }}} -- Ticket URL: http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3491 Mutt http://www.mutt.org/ The Mutt mail user agent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
