[twsocket] Don't trust routers!

i.e. Lancom, I was told that it has an option ConnectionAge to specify a connection time-out. According to the manual the connection will be closed when the timeout expires. But nothing like that happened. Instead, after the time-out expired a client application happily sent data that was never

We -in our code- implement/interpret a connection timeout as idle timeout. Could this be the case in Lancom as well? Best Regards, SZ - Original Message - From: Arno Garrels [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ICS support mailing twsocket@elists.org Sent: Friday, March 02, 2007 2:31 PM Subject:

I would be very interested if you start this project as my company also thinks that in the future it might be interesting to port some of our Windows service applications to GNU/Linux. When evaluating what way to go I thought that either Kylix could be used (but is that product still active?) or

Perhaps the TCP connection has some end-to-end keep-alive packets sent which does not leave the stream idle? Regards, SZ - Original Message - From: Arno Garrels [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ICS support mailing twsocket@elists.org Sent: Friday, March 02, 2007 3:36 PM Subject: Re: [twsocket]

When evaluating what way to go I thought that either Kylix could be used (but is that product still active?) or we port the code (including ICS) to C/C++. Maybe the glib library could be used to provide the Unix alternative to messages and threads: http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/glib/index.html

Anyway, I think there will be a big market for application on Linux when it gets more market share, on desktop and servers. Having ICS and Pascal available to us would make it a lot easier to code on that platform since we are used to Delphi. Surely. But who do you think has to pay the bill ?
