Hi,
  I am trying to build up httpd service in RedBoot.
And I met problem that I can't close connection by
calling __tcp_close() after replying data to
client,and the httpd sock state is always TIME_WAIT.
The client http can't get response from server after
recevive replying.I have to open another client http
to browser,but only once,problem is the same with
above
I described.

The following are rough code structure..
1> into listening state by calling __tcp_listen().

2>Checking TCP incoming connection
httpd_accept()
{
    if (!is_idle) return;
    if (!have_net) return;

    __tcp_poll();
    if (httpd_state != httpd_sock.state) {
        // Something has changed
        if (httpd_sock.state == _ESTABLISHED) {
            // A new connection has arrived
            //check Rx data and response
            // close connection by calling
__tcp_close() .
        }
        if (httpd_sock.state == _CLOSED) {
            // Get ready for another connection
            //into listening state by calling
__tcp_listen().
        }
    }
    httpd_state = httpd_sock.state;      
}
RedBoot_idle(httpd_accept, RedBoot_IDLE_HTTPD/* 6000
*/);


Do I miss any procedure or other way that could fix
it?


thank you!
Huang Sun I

Right. 

After you close a tcp connection (you send a FIN packet and
receive a FIN back) the state is _supposed_ to be TIME_WAIT.

The purpose of this is to catch old packets still floating around the
network including retransmitted FIN packets.

Normally this is not a problem. The server goes back to its listen
socket and accepts the next connection.  After 2x maximum segment
lifetime the old socket in TIME_WAIT is destroyed. 

I don't know the redboot tcp stack. Does it implement the same
concept? ie simply accept the next connection waiting on the listen
socket?

RedBoot hangs once it sees the CLOSE_WAIT condition.  You need to
continually call __tcp_poll() which will eventually flush the connection
which then goes to CLOSED.  At that time, you can create a new 
connection.

Note: this code is untested for more than one active TCP connection,
so beware.

I've never seen that happen.

You have to continually call __tcp_poll() no matter what state
the socket is, since RedBoot is single-threaded.

It worked OK for me. :)

You won't - it just won't look for another 'telnet' session
when the current one closes until it's completely closed.

Hi,
   thanks for replying.
After __tcp_close(),I keep calling __tcp_poll() until
state is _CLOSED. But it seems endless,even setup
reuse option to 1sec in sock,the state is still
TIME_WAIT..,

Have you met this situation before?
Could force to destory the state to _CLOSED?
If so,is there any potential problem?

thank you
Sam

Right.  You can reduct that period from 120 seconds to 1 second
by setting the reuse option on the socket.

After the 2MSL TIME_WAIT is done, you need to call
__tcp_listen() on the socket to make it listen for a new
connection (accept a SYN packet).  There is no such thing in
RedBoot as a "listen socket" on which pending connections wait.

IOW, you use a single socket structure to both listen for the
connection and communicate via that connection.
