#670 Performance: connection timeout

[Christophe De Clercq]

Hi,

When I try to connect via (latest version 2.4.1):
ftp::Open $some_ip anonymous "" -mode passive

I takes sometimes more than a minut (sometimes a timeout).
* We only have this when starting on Solaris connecting
to Windows via a Fortigate 200 Antivirus Appl. and a
firewall.
* Windows to Windows via Fortigate and firewall works fine.
* Solaris to whatever OS not via Fortigate and firewall
works fine
* When I test the connection via regular UNIX ftp
command -->
no problem

The line of code slowing down is located in ftp.tcl
proc ftp::OpenControlConn
--> set peer [fconfigure $ftp(CtrlSock) -peername]

This line is used only for a DisplayMsg. (I think this
line should be in the if statement, but this is not the
real issue).

I found an old bug report on fconfigure -peername (tcl
project):
[ 533301 ] fconfigure -peername very slow

Does somebody have an idea?

Moving the fconfigure line into the
# if { $VERBOSE } {

block fixes my problem when VERBOSE mode is off.

Very bizar when I change the line to

set peer [fconfigure $ftp(CtrlSock) -peername -blocking 1]
OR !!!! (it does not matter???)
set peer [fconfigure $ftp(CtrlSock) -peername -blocking 0]

Both work FAST ??? (Via Solaris tcl_patchLevel 8.4.5)

Please ignor the previous -blocking remark !
