Problem With FD_CLOSE Event

[WiKiDJeFF]

is the FD_CLOSE msg sent only when a socket is closed remote or when you close the socket also? I am using the closesocket() function to close my socket and when I do it doesnt send the FD_CLOSE msg. And I dont think it is when the connection is closed remotely.

Try shutdown(sckSocket,0x02);

Also you might try catching the socket close event and force send a FD_CLOSE over the wire.

what do u mean catch the close event?

and what does shutdown() do? close the socket?

[Technocrat]

Are you using MFC? or API?

Did you use WSAAsyncSelect to setup a callback?

[WiKiDJeFF]

Im using API, and I did use WSAAsyncSelect. I think I fixed the problem with the FD_CLOSE message, but now I cant seem to have the socket reconnect.

[Technocrat]

That might be casused by the socket on the "server" or "client" end still holding your port open. You need to make sure that the socket is clear/destroyed before reconnecting

It would be more helpfull if I could see your code or project.
