Yep, your guess is right. OT insistet on having still data but a call of recv() didn't deliver any bytes. Queer.<br />
But two days later vanished the problem (without any reasonable reason...).

Hi there,<br />
<br />
My system is: MacOS 9, CWP 5, GUSI 2 (config: OpenTransport, StreamSockets)<br />
I have two apps, simple Client/Server using stream sockets. They can also talk fine together.<br />
<br />
A strange thing:<br />
- using &quot;struct hostent* phe = gethostbyname()&quot; doesn't return NULL if my host name is nonsens.<br />
&nbsp; I use instead &quot;if( *(int*)phe-&gt;h_name == 0x7fffDEAD))&quot;. Sounds really silly but works. Ever heard about that?<br />
<br />
My serious problem:<br />
- &quot;close()&quot; never returns. It runs forever in an internal GUSI event loop (in GUSIIOTStreamSocket::close<wbr />())<br />
&nbsp; It seems that OT is still waiting for some data from the server which has definitely nothing more to say. An dummy-recv is called, getting nothing,<br />
&nbsp; but this loop goes on and on. What's wrong? Are there still some nasty details to configure/set?<br />
<br />
I'd really appreaciate if you'd have the time to answer.<br />
Thanx and bye!<br />

GUSI: close(socket) hangs

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
