The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Indy Client Server freezing

Asked by praxalia in Delphi Programming, Delphi IDE

Tags: Delphi, Indy 10, TIdTCPServer, TIdTCPClient, Freeze, Read

Hi experts.

I am having a really hard time to solve an Indy10  communication problem. I have a client-server project which uses TIdTCPClient and TIdTCPServer to send files across the network (LAN). The application must be able to send files in both directions: client to server and server to client. At the moment I am testing server to client part. I send files using fixed length chunks.

Sometimes the communication loop will freeze at a random iteration in the line where the client confirms  reception of the chunk (it writes 1 byte response to the handler) . For testing I am using Windows XP SP3 file (313 MB) because with large files the problem is more likely to happen.

Some important facts you must know before answering:

- I have downloaded latest version of indy 10 available from SVN, few weeks ago.
- Server and Client sending loops are out from main VCL thread.
- I have IdAntifreeze components on both sides
- I have tried differents types of reading/writing to the IOHandler: ReadByte, ReadStream, ReadLn...
- I use MadExcept and exhaustive logging to find out things, so I am quite sure that the read instruction in the server does not exit, but the client does write the response byte.


Does anyone know a reason why the TIdTCPServer does not receive the client response while the TidTCPClient skips to the instruction after the write? They are suposed to use blocking sockets... It does not make any sense to me.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

PS: I may not be able to read this post until monday, but i just could not wait.
