| Summary | 0001289: Broken connections cause SIGPIPE killing host application. | ||||
| Description | When a client aborts a connection it causes an EPIPE on a send() call but also raises a SIGPIPE unless you use the MSG_NOPIPE flag in the send() call. libmicrohttpd does not have this flag set so the SIGPIPE rises up through the unsuspecting application and kills it. There are many causes of broken connections, but I noticed it from the Safari browser. You can cause this to happen by making a response that takes a half second or so to respond, accessing it from Safari, and clicking the 'reload' button very quickly. | ||||
| Additional Information | Perhaps on any platform that defines MSG_NOPIPE you should use it in the flags. I suspect this can also happen in the receive, but that would be tricky to make a test case. | ||||
