With NT 3.5, I seem to be having trouble with closing sockets: the close()
method seems to have no effect! When I'm running HotJava or my own
client/server code I accumulate lots of dead "CLOSE_WAIT" connections after
the other side has closed. Anyone else seen this?
Consider the following program:
import net.*;
class Test {
public static void main(String argv[]) {
Socket s = new Socket("majesty.fac", 7);
s.close();
Thread.sleep(60000);
}
}
"netstat" shows that the socket remains "ESTABLISHED" until the process exits!
Someone please tell me I'm being stupid. I wish the NT sources were
available so I could check. Also, where is the best place to send questions
like this?
(And while I'm asking questions, when is the NT alpha3 release likely?)
Thanks,
Rob
