Programming :: Close A Socket And Refuse Waiting Connections?
Jan 4, 2010
i've written a socket server. when i launch a client, it connects to servers running on various machines on my local network, which then reply to the client with some string messages, and the client exits.
however, when i launch the client repeatedly (say 5 or 6 times in quick succession) the client is unable to bind to its local port. this appears to be because servers are still trying to connect to the client machine's port, even though the client exited and shut the socket down. the actual error i receive is "Error binding socket to 192.168.1.6:44561: Address already in use".
so, is it enough just to shutdown and close a socket? is there some way that in doing so the client machine can send a CONNECTION_REFUSED message to any machine trying to connect to it? i am using PHP, not that that should make much of a difference i hope.
the problem resolves itself after around 20 seconds as the machines trying to connect to the client timeout. i still need to fix this issue though.

I need to write program for non blocking socket connections.I have made extensive research but could only get to non blocking READ or WRITE after the connection is established. run the program do a series of tasks (ex: counter printing time on screen) if there is request for connection, connect send or receive data.

I am writing a server which uses edge-triggered epoll. When the server calls accept(), it just extracts the first connection in the pending queue. If there are more connections that are waiting, can we make the server accept all the pending connections? I wrote a loop like the following:
do {
client_fd = accept(...);
/* Work with the client fd */
} while (client_fd != -1); [/code]
Doesn't seem to work. A related question, more a clarification, is as follows. My understanding was that a connect() at the client returns only when accept() in the server returns. Clearly, I was incorrect. Even with no accept() call in the server, my client was able to connect and send data. Am I getting this right?

iam just trying to connect to server which accepts one client and server will read(blocking operation) infinitely, but After closing the client socket the server "read operation" is returning zero and "errno variable(in errno.h)" value is also zero. how can i detect whether a client socket is closed/active..?
client.c
Serv_Addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
Serv_Addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");
Serv_Addr.sin_port = htons(26553);
if( 0 > connect (Serv_Fds,&Serv_Addr,sizeof(Serv_Addr)) )
{
perror("connect");
return 0;
[Code]....

I create SCTP socket with port number 60011. The SCTP socket descriptor value is 18.
When I try to close the socket with the socket descriptor, sometimes it is not closed without errno.

I opened a socket with sock_create()... bind() listen() accept().
Then, the far end closes the connection.
I want to close the near end, so I can re-open for the next connection.
But there is no close(), and sock_release() crashes the kernel.

i'm writing a simple program of client socket program. Here below is the code sample which i'm writing...
Code:
//tcp_client.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
[Code].....
the above code works fine.if we copmile and run ./a.exe 192.xx.xx.xxx 1111 and press enter it works fine..everytime it asks "Please enter the message: " and if give that will be displayed in server. but my problem is i dont want to print everytime "Please enter the message: " i just want to feed some words one by one to the socket.

im getting that error in my code for some reason. I compiled my code, and when i try to run this server it throws me an error on my call to setsocketopt(). The only way it can reach that part of my loop is if it succeeds when it calls sock() so I dont understand why the error says its an operation on a non-socket. Im just trying to set up a server to pass messages from a client to it a viceversa. Here is the code:
Code:
int main()
{
int socket_fd, new_socket_fd, k;
struct addrinfo hints, *server_info, *p;
struct sockaddr_storage peer_address;
code....

This is more of a question for developers of rhythmbox DAAP support. I am using rhythmbox to remotely access music exported by mt-daapd server. It works fine. But it does not seem to close connections properly. This problem is very severe when you press "prev" button a few times. How to reproduce (this just one way):
1) Start playing a few songs (playlist or an album).
2) press "next" button a few times
3) then press "prev" a few times.
The playback might even pause for many seconds if you are not a LAN. Now check connections opened by Rhythmbox.. (netstat -n | grep 3689 on client). You will notice a lot of connections, and they stay for a very long time.. multiple hours. Let me know if anyone needs more info.

I have a server listening on incoming client connections. Once the client establishes SSL connection with the server, the server waits on read() from the client. Only Client can disconnect the connection. I want to have a timer in the server program to wait for x secs after read() and then disconnect the Client connection.

When sending data over the socket, the sending socket includes 0x00 after each sent byte. I wonder how this can be avoided -- I just want to transfer the data in the tx_buffer as it is.
# ./serv &
[1] 6895
# ./EUG 127.0.0.1
EUG: Data to be transmitted: 0x35 0x32 0x30 0xff 0x03 0x31
EUG: Data - #Bytes transmitted: 6
./serv: Here is the message: '5'

Is it possible to swap a client ip and port ? This is what I am trying to do. Let say you have Comp1 and Comp2 And you have Server between them. My goal is to get Comp1 and Comp2 know each others IP So Comp1 connects to server And server stores comp1's IP In a text file or other place And Comp2 connect to server And server also stores his info And then both comp1 and comp2 dowload the tex file And use the info on it.

I have a script in which I need to wait until the required files are formed. Like the files are of the form a-1, a-2, a-3 and so on. I need to wait using sleep until files named a-1 to a-n are formed and value of n is known. How can I do this..?

This is my main question:Quote: In raw socket sniffing: how do I copy data from a structure into a char[] or pointer? My problem: I started doing some raw socket programming in OpenWRT (I'm a newbie) for research. It's been a long time since the last time I programmed in C, so here's my newbie question/problem.
I'm receiving packets and using an .h file with the structures to get the information of each 802.11 packet in monitor mode (attached to this post).My (simple) goal is to get the Tx MAC Address. No luck. This is my "read the prism header" function:
Code:
ParsePrismHeader(unsigned char *packet,int len)
{
wlan_header *wlan;ieee_802_11_header *i802;u_int16_t eth_type;
unsigned char *mac;unsigned char *mac2;
wlan = (wlan_header *)packet;
i802 = (ieee_802_11_header *)(packet + wlan->msglen);

I am currently doing a research on video transmission over wireless LAN. I tend to transmit my offline file (xx.svc) from server to client.It may sound stupid (since I have a very little knowledge about c programming and raw socket), but my biggest challenges is that when I want to write the file to the buffer, how actually to define/include the file at the programming coding? where I need to locate the file? Is it at the same folder with my c programming, or somewhere in the linuxinclude folder?
Can anyone just give a simple example on how to include a file and write it into a buffer before send it through raw socket.

I am looking to be able to connect to an IRC server in a C program. I have followed some instructions from an old book I have however it doesn't seem to be working. I've tried connecting to localhost on my ssh port and it still doesn't want to work. This is what I have so far as a piece of skeleton test code:
Code:
#include<sys/types.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<sys/socket.h>
#include<unistd.h>
#include<netinet/in.h>

I have currently had the need to go back to basic socket programming, and implemented a simple udp packet sender. But I realized I needed to be able to select which network interface to send the packets from.
The reason is so that one of the interfaces has vlan tagging, and I need my UDP packets to be accordingly vlan tagged. For example, one of the interfaces is eth1.200.

I have a Python script that copies a couple of DLL's and EXE to a directory before running the EXE. It can be a fresh copy or the files can already be in the target directory and are then overwritten. The script uses shutil.copy() to copy the files and that works but as the files are copying processing continues and the script tries to run the files mid copy, causing an error.
I need a way to wait for the files to finish copying before the script continues. Putting the thread to sleep isn't good enough, calling os.system("copy ...") also doesn't work, using os.path.exist() won't work because the file will exist during the copy.

Has anyone had an issue with gdb not being able to send a UDP msg across a socket?
I have ComponentA sending a msg to ComponentB utilizing gdb. ComponentB gets the msg. ComponentB sends a msg to ComponentC. ComponentC does stuff to the msg and sends a msg back to ComponentB using gdb.
ComponentB never seems to receive the 2nd message.
If I don't use gdb the messages Tx and Rx without an issue.
I'm flying blind without gdb to figure out a different bug.
