Hi all, I'm new to network programming. I have a question.
Can we set a timeout to limit how long a particular socket can read or write? I have used a settimeout() function. The settimeout() works fine as long as the client doesnt send any data for x seconds. The data that I receive in the server after accept()ing a connect() from a client I check if the client is sending any invalid data. I'm trying to ensure that a client sending invalid data constantly cannot hold the server. So is there a way of saying I want the client to use this socket for x seconds before I close it, no matter what data I receive? Thanks in advance, -Abhijeet
