[AOLSERVER] Thread safety Tcl's socket command vs ns_sockopen

[David Osborne]

Hi,
There was some discussion in the past about Tcl's socket command not being thread safe with the recommendation being that ns_sockopen should be used instead.

Does anyone know if this is still the case in Tcl 8.5 or have things moved on? I can't find any reference to thread safety of socket in the more recent documentation.

Thanks in advance.

There are no issues with the thread safety of the Tcl socket command, we use it regularly on a busy server (up to 10mio hits per day) with tcl 8.5.11.

Thanks very much for the info Gustaf. We'll have a go at migrating from ns_sockopen to Tcl socket in that case!
