Detecting Closed Sockets

[dnsi 0]

How do you detect a closed socket. For example:

If a user logged on to your server then they loged off. How do you detect the server going off without the client actucally telling the server it had exited?

Have the server ping the socket, if theres no response it probrably disconnected

Ok...

Ill try that...

[cppman 1]

Success: Returns number of bytes sent to the connected socket.

Failure: Returns 0 and set @error according to Windows API WSAGetError return.

Try sending data,

check if there is an error... check @error, and work accordingly..

while (TCPSend($socket, "stay-alive") > 0)
;do your code
wend
;You no longer have a client.
