Turning Nagle off (here's how I do it)

[Bob Whitaker]

I had a need to have Nagle turned off; I did the following...

I have a Delphi app using TServerSocket, the following is in the component's
OnAccept event...

if (SetSockOpt(Socket.SocketHandle,IPPROTO_TCP,TCP_NODELAY,'1111',4) <> 0)
then ShowMessage('Turning Nagle off failed');

I have a C++Builder app using TClientSocket, the following is in the component's
OnConnect event...
if (setsockopt(Socket->SocketHandle,IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY,"1111",4) != 0) {

ShowMessage("Error turning Nagle off: "+IntToStr(WSAGetLastError()));
}

I connot recall where I got the info on the 1111 string.
