First off where do we report bugs now? Bugzilla or Github issues? @andre - dropbox is no longer public. I'd love to check out your old server stacks. @todd - I'm hacking away pretty radically at your minimal server @monte - yes it would be good to use github for version control. I'll take a look at lcVCS, and also modify lchttpd to use script only libraries for behaviors and libraries.
Update on - it seems that the background problem is an issue with hanging ports - that is ports that the modified lchttpd is not closing. So I am trying to get my head back around http/connections/sockets and so forth. It seems that (looking at the openssockets during a request) that a single GET request results in 2 connections and 3 entries in the opensockets: 8082 > 127.0.0.1:62291 > 127.0.0.1:62293 However depending on which client is making the http calls we get a different number of "newconnection" messages - the issue seems to be with Chrome - anyone have an idea why??? *Firefox, Safari and Livecode* With Safari, Firefox or Livecode sending an http GET request to localhost:8082 (ie in Livecode - put url "http://localhost:8082/somePath";) we only trigger *a single newConnection message*. You can see from the following logs created when Chrome connects to the Livecode server - http://pastebin.com/x2cNKdK4 Similarly as the Livecode server includes the line: *write* it to socket theSocket with message "closeConnection" We also then only get *a single closeConnection message *(send as a param while writing back to the client), which we handle to close the socket - everything is good. *Chrome* You can see from the following logs created when Chrome connects to the Livecode server - http://pastebin.com/WfqzRwrW When Chrome is used to connect to the Livecode server two newConnect messages are send, and as a result the second connection is not closed - either by the our LiveCode script (the closeConnection message is only triggered once). The Chrome server then hangs waiting for further data and keeps the second connection open. Manually closing this connection in Livecode fixes the problem, and allows the browser to complete it's request. *A fix?* I'm going to take a look at how to associate this open socket with Chrome, and close it in LiveCode in a script. The problem is that a web page often fires of several requests at once, or even another client can hit the server, and so just closing all connections results in other client connections getting broken - any ideas?
