Hi,

eestolano:

The client's socket becomes readable; actually reading from it yields EOF.

Thanks! I'm not sure how to do that, though. I'm aiming for something like this (omitting the queue-producer code):

--------
def handle(request): # gevent.core.http_connection                                                                                                                                                                                                          

    ### Wait for another greenlet to put an item on a queue

    request.send_reply(200, 'OK', item_from_queue)

def main():

    ### launch separate greenlet to put items on queue

    # set up web server                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
    server = HTTPServer(('0.0.0.0', 10545), handle)
    print "Serving on port 10545."
    server.serve_forever()

--------

I was hoping HTTPServer would allow for a connection loss handler, but it doesn't seem to.

I'm not sure how to implement your suggestion for two reasons:

- How can I access the socket from the gevent.core.http_connection object? I can't find anything in the docs.
- If I can get to the socket, does this mean I have to poll the socket periodically for EOF? I'd rather avoid polling.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Tune tcp keepalive timeouts. This will help with long timeouts. May be
it's possible to do that on per-socket basis.

Hi,

Alexandre Kandalintsev:

TCP keepalives exist for the purpose of auto-closing sockets whose remote
side becomes unreacheable / crashes instead of closing the connection.
They don't indicate to your application that a socket is closed.

If you don't read from (or write to) the socket, you won't notice either.

If you want a notification, you need to select() the socket.

Whoops, I thought the problem is to detect dead clients...
