Just to add a bit to the description of the problem - the problem only happens when wsoNoReceiveLoop is used.
- The connection is not closed but there's no data coming in. This typically happens after a few MByte of data has been transferred. - I log Pause and Resume calls so that I see them rolling in DebugView window. When the problem happens, no more pause and resume show in the log window The last one is always a Resume. So, when the problem happens, it seems that either the TCP stack fails to receive more data, or the TWSocket object fails to call OnDataAvailable event. - I could not reproduce the problem with httpprot component. (I could only test httpprot against a web server, which is a different server box with different OS. Not sure if it has anything to do with the difference in TCP stacks. One Windows, one Linux + proprietary software) ===8<==============Original message text=============== Hi Francois, > As far as I know, "TCP zero window" is sent when the comiter is not able to > receive data anymore because the receive buffer is full.

Yes, without wsoNoReceiveLoop, I'm able to receive the whole 200MB file. With wsoNoReceiveLoop, it breaks in the middle. It's yet to find out why I think my code works similarly to httpprot, with the exception of having wsoNoReceiveLoop commented out. The client receives everything in the OnDataAvailable handler, calculates the bandwith, if too high, calls Pause. Then in a timer, when the average bandwidth drops, Resume is called. You and Wilfried explained that wsoNoReceiveLoop stops the loop. I thought Pause does this as well? When Pause is called, am I supposed to get OnDataAvailable events? I guess I'm not clear on how wsoNoReceiveLoop interacts with Pause and Resume. > If you call Pause, obviously you are no more notifyed when data comes in. > This will fill the receive buffer until full and at that time the peer will > recive the zero window message.

Yes, resume is called in a timer handler, similar to httpprot. -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
