| Summary | 0006019: request api to check whether mhd connection object still live (tcp socket still connected) | ||||
| Description | For a multithreaded server where the mhd handlers may block & do longwinded work, it could be beneficial to be able to poll or be told that the underlying tcp connection has been broken by a client going away. That way it can abort this work in progress. The closest thing I could find so far is to get the connection fd via MHD_get_connection_info(MHD_CONNECTION_INFO_CONNECTION_FD), switch the fd into nonblocking mode, then do a trial recv(MSG_PEEK) against it, then restore previous state. If this logic is plausible, it may be useful enough to put it into the api proper. | ||||

Eh, why would you switch the FD to non-blocking? All sockets that MHD uses should always already be non-blocking. Other than that, the reason why we have a way for you to get to the socket is to allow you to do such things, so the API already exists. Not sure what we should change here... |

"All sockets that MHD uses should always already be non-blocking." OK, if this is a guarantee, that's great. Is that in the documentation somewhere? |

I've added a comment to that effect in fe6716d1..902e3774. Resolving this issue. |
