[Postgres-xc-developers] Error in Connectionhandling of gtm_proxy

[Himpich, S. <Ste...@se...>]

Hi *,

if I make a connection to a gtm_proxy (telnet, netcat), send some bytes (or not) and close the connection (or not), the proxy seems to be dead afterwards.

"monitor all" from pgxc_ctl hangs forever when checking the gtm proxy. It (the proxy) still accepts connections, but does no datahandling (according to strace).

The only way to re-animate such a proxy is to kill and restart it.


I know I can protect my proxies with a firewall, but I guess that any broken connections could result in DOS, too. (I tried to connect via nc in order to see, if the service is alive. All other services are fine with theese kind of connections).

Unfortunatly I was not able to track this error down in the sourcecode. If you need more information, please let me know.

Greetings,
Stefan
