Why does my Perl TCP server script hang with many TCP connections?

I've got a strange issue with a server accepting TCP connections. Even though there are normally some processes waiting, at some volume of connections it hangs. Long version: The server is written in Perl and binds a $srv socket with the reuse flag and listen == 5. Afterwards, it forks into 10 processes with a loop of $clt=$srv->accept...

WinSock client ports and router port forwarding

I have a server application that binds to a port and listens on it. I've set up the router to forward the data on this port to the server. Now, on the client side, I don't actually bind() the socket to any port, and I usually end up with a different port everytime. In that case, how can I prepare the router to forward that port to the c...

Is there a way to reuse SSL socket connections on the iPhone. I'm seeing an extra 3-4 second overhead in doing SSL handshaking. I'm using NSURLconnection currently to do the API calls and each one of them is taking 4-5 seconds on Wifi. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ...

C socket programming: calling recv() changes my socket file descriptor?

Hey all, I have this strange problem with recv(). I'm programming client/server where client send() a message (a structure to be exact) and server recv() it.

Receive input over TCP/IP and use it to update HTML

This has got to be a FAQ, so can someone please just direct me to a "network programming for dummies" URL? The server wants to push information to a client or broadcast to all, when an event happens - as opposed to the clients constantly polling the server "just in case". The client then updates a browser page display. How do I do that...

Determine how much can I write into a filehandle; copying data from one FH to the other.

How to determine if I can write the given number of bytes to a filehandle (socket actually)? (Alternatively, how to "unread" the data I had read from other filehandle?) I want something like: n = how_much_can_I_write(w_handle); n = read(r_handle, buf, n); assert(n==write(w_handle, buf, n)); Both filehandles (r_handle and w_handle) ...

I can se it with cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr Print from console: connect: No route to host close: Bad file descriptor connect: No route to host c...

I want to start a server which listen to a port. I can specify port explicitly and it works. But I would like to find a port in an automatic way. In this respect I have two questions. In which range of port numbers should I search for? (I used ports 12345, 12346, and 12347 and it was fine). How can I find out if a given port is not occ...

I'm writing an application that is split into two parts for Mac OS X - a daemon and an agent. I'm using a standard unix socket to communicate between the daemon and the agents.

Java Socket fails to transmit data over the network

I'm experiencing a bizarre problem with sockets between a Java Knopflerfish client bundle and a PHP (CLI, not web) server. The client/server pair work fine when both are located on the localhost, and all data is transmitted successfully. However, when the Java client exists on a different machine, connections to the server are successfu...

How can I "interconnect" two sockets in Linux?

There are two connected sockets. How can I interconnect them? Data appeared on the one socket should be written to the other. EOF/FIN should propogate well. If one is half-closed, the other should also be half-closed. int client = get_connected_client_socket(); int proxy = get_connected_proxy_socket(); negotiate_with_proxy(proxy); i...
