I am wondering if somebody to could answer a question about sockets. I have a socket that
is listening, and a client program connects to it. The client program transfers a name over, and then disconnects from the socket. Now, how that is done is using a socket.close() call to shut down the entire socket. My question is: Is there a way to have the socket close the connection, yet stay open for the next client that comes along and connects to the server? I have my already written code below for further documentation. Thanks!
while 1:
s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET,socket.SO_REUSEADDR,1)
s.bind((self.ipAddr,self.port))
s.listen(5)
print "The port is: ", self.port
client,addr=s.accept()
while 1:
try:
if addr[0] == self.remoteIpAddr:
client.send("Connected to the server\n")
msg=client.recv(1024)
msg=msg.strip()
if msg in 'exit':
s.close() #Is there a different way to write this?
time.sleep(30)
print "exiting"
break
if len(msg) > 0:
