I'm having an issue where my program hangs while doing socket.connect() for a couple minutes, then times out the connection and crashes. I'm connecting to an apache2 process on the same machine, for testing. When looking at netstat, the socket is in the SYN_SENT state, like this:
$netstat -a -tcp tcp 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN 7635/apache2 tcp 0 1 bukzor:38234 adsl-75-61-84-249.d:www SYN_SENT 9139/python Anyone know a general reason this might happen? Even better, a way to fix it? Doing a minimal amount of research, I found this in the netstat manual: The state SYN_SENT means that an application has made arequest for a TCP session, but has not yet received the return SYN+ACK packet. This would indicate it's a server issue, but it seems very stable when I look at it via a browser. Here's the server. If you browse to it, it documents the exported functions: http://bukzor.hopto.org/modpython/xmlrpc.py Here's my test client that's hanging. Turn 'verbose' to True to get more debugging info. [code] #!/usr/bin/env python from xmlrpclib import ServerProxy s = ServerProxy("http://bukzor.hopto.org/modpython/xmlrpc.py";, verbose=False) print s.helloworld() print s.add(1,2) print s.subtract(1,2) [/code] Thanks, --Buck -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
