From: vischne AT ibm DOT net (Victor Schneider) Subject: Correction to WWW/Implementation/Library/HTTCP.c for cygwin32 23 Oct 1997 17:34:24 -0700 Message-ID: <1.5.4.16.19971023200427.0c87624e.cygnus.gnu-win32@pop1.ibm.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: lynx-dev AT sig DOT net, gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com This is the bug that stops other than Linux/usleep versions of lynx from connecting to hosts properly. With this correction, the cygwin32 version of the most recent releases connects robustly to remote hosts without the need of a gethostbyname loop. In WWW/Library/Implementation/HTTCP.c : Line 840: if (tries++ >= 180000) { HTAlert("Connection failed for 180,000 tries."); FREE(line); return HT_NO_DATA; } - timeout.tv_sec = 0; + timeout.tv_sec = 10; timeout.tv_usec = 100000; FD_ZERO(&writefds); FD_SET(*s, &writefds); - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
