> Post the code. ok. here is the code: # Echo server program import socket
HOST = '' # Symbolic name meaning the local host PORT = 50007 # Arbitrary non-privileged port s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1) s.bind((HOST, PORT)) s.listen(1) conn, addr = s.accept() print 'Connected by', addr conn.settimeout(1) toread = 99 retrytime = 0 reads = 0 while reads < toread and retrytime < 10: try: data = conn.recv(min(32,toread-reads)) if not data: continue print data reads += len(data) except: retrytime += 1 print "timeout %d" % retrytime continue if reads == toread: conn.send("OK") else: conn.send("NOT OK") conn.close() ****************I'm the separate line********************************************* # Echo client program import socket HOST = 'localhost' # The remote host PORT = 50007 # The same port as used by the server s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.connect((HOST, PORT)) for i in range(12): print "time %d" % i s.send('0123456789') #data = s.recv(1024) #print "data %d" %i, data #s.shutdown(socket.SHUT_WR)#no more write data=s.recv(1024) s.close() print 'Received', repr(data) client is supposed to get the response, either "OK" or "NOT OK". but the fact is, client gets "Connection reset by peer" (as shown below) about one in fifth. ---------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "c.py", line 10, in <module> s.send('0123456789') socket.error: (104, 'Connection reset by peer') ---------------------------------- anyway, server is doing well all the time. any comments on the design or implementation will be greatly appreciated. -- ahlongxp Software College,Northeastern University,China [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.herofit.cn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
