Aye, but that wasn’t my goal. I wanted to wait until a specific callback event was triggered. The trouble is, open socket to mySQL, when it fails, seems to fail silently. No callback, no error message. To work around this I created my own timing loop which keeps trying every second for ten sec

I figured it out. First, wait for messages is just this side of useless. *ANY* message that comes through will do, not just messages from the open socket command. Secondly, I just set up my own wait loop that exits when the socket is in the openSockets or else times out after 10 seconds. This wi

It doesn’t wait. It passes the wait for messages just fine. I am using wait for messages because that is what the dictionary says I should be doing if I need to wait for the connection to be made before proceeding, otherwise the script will just keep going, which is precisely what I do NOT want

A couple things.. Remove the wait for messages, its not needed and is probably a bad idea. Then, since you're opening a secure socket, you might need to specify with, or without verification (depending on your needs of course) Also, there is a parameter that is passed along with the message that

Did you accept connection on port aConnection["deport”]? I think it’s possible for the open socket to remain in the openSockets list until the connection times out. Grab message socketTimeout pSocketID to see if it’s timing out without connecting. Eric On Jul 6, 2015, at 12:36 PM, Bob Sneidar
