Title:
Server Timout for hard disconnect?
I have a Foxpro client application that makes a simple connection to a certain server process(not Fox) using the Winsock classes. My problem is that when I am communicating and test a hard disconnect, litterally pulling the Ethernet cord, the client process dies appropriately, but the server process holds the connection for a long time..I need the server to drop the connection on that port much earlier than it does(1 hr) if I abruptly lose connection.
Is the server responsible for closing that connection if the client is no longer "listening"? Is there a timeout value the client can specify when initiating the connection that will make the server close the connection more quickly if it loses the client?
Thanks.
