XmlRpc++ / Discussion / Help: Timeout and multithreaded server

Bertrand Boichon - 2003-03-06

Hi,

First of all, thanks for this c++ library. I am using it with VC++ for win32 development and I must say, it's wonderful!

However I didn't see anything about timeouts on client requests, although I think it's important (the server might not be running (or network failures) when I send the request). Will it be hard to implement?
Could u add an overloaded XmlRpcClient::execute() with a timeout parameter (set to INFINITE by default)??

Another question, I understand that a very simple http server is implemented. Is it multithreaded? is it serializing requests? can you easily handle a dozen of simultaneous connections?

best regards,

bertrand

  I forgot:
  
  I previously talked about synchronous request calls of course.
  
  but what about asynchronous calls? is it implemented (callback functions)?
  
  thanks,

  ps: I got trouble opening release 0.6 ZIP package (it says there are errors...). could you check?

    You are right, the 0.6 zip archive appears to be corrupted.

      I have replaced the corrupt zip file.

  If no server is running at the specified hostname+port address, the connection request will be refused and the client execute will return an error. If the host is known but unreachable or the network goes down after a connection has been established, the default system socket timeout applies.
  
  It is a fairly trivial exercise to set the timeout option for a socket, so I should be able to add that feature. I will post here again when its available.

  Regarding the server, the default implementation is single threaded but uses non-blocking IO (so it doesn't get hung up waiting for reads/writes on a slow connection to a client). Although I have no need of a multithreaded server, a couple of people using the library have subclassed the server and/or the dispatch object to implement multithreading.
  If you look through the messages on this forum there is some code posted.
  
  If I have time I intend to add multithreading to the server.
