The async socket handler in the client is issuing a connect(2) on a non-blocking socket via XrdNetConnect::Connect (which returns EINPROGGRESS) and subscribes to write notifications for the socket in order to get notified when connect returns. This is done in accordance with the manual, which says: > The socket is nonblocking and the connection cannot be completed immediately. It is possible to > select(2) or poll(2) for completion by selecting the socket for writing. After select(2) indicates writability, > use getsockopt(2) to read the SO_ERROR option at level SOL_SOCKET to determine whether > connect() completed successfully (SO_ERROR is zero) or unsuccessfully (SO_ERROR is one of the > usual error codes listed here, explaining the reason for the failure). The write notification arrives erratically when using the built-in poller on MacOSX, we haven't observed this issue using the built-in poller on Linux, nor the libevent poller on any platform. --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/issues/5#issuecomment-16451277 ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the XROOTD-DEV list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=XROOTD-DEV&A=1
