Re: [Libyahoo2-users] yahoo_logout(); not closing the socket

[Tri S. <tr...@us...>]

Hi,

The sample application meant to be simple demonstration and it just
bails out at the user log out. This immediate exit leaves the socket
closing codes no chance to execute.

If you modified the code to allow the program still running on its
main processing loop, then the socket closing codes will be called on
socket close event.

So, to log out of a session, you just need to call yahoo_logoff()
*without* yahoo_close() with a given id and then keep running the
processing loop. Note that as you can see the yahoo_logout() called
yahoo_close() just after calling yahoo_logoff(), this prevents further
processing.

Now with the log off packet already sent, at some point in the loop
the yahoo server will acknowledge and close the connection and our
socket closing callback will get called.

You can easily inspect the yahoo_callback() call trace to get the picture.

Cheers,
Tri
