It's not a simple character problem because: a. other functions in the same file work fine. b. redefining it later works even though it is cut and pasted. c. I can even move the definition around in http.tcl (it was at the end to start with) and it still fails while the other functions work. d. Just for grins I typed out a redefinition of the function immediately after the original, and it still failed. If I comment out the chunk with ns_sockselect, it doesn't get redefined (as confirmed by [info body _ns_http_puts]), but it also doesn't work.
So something has to be happening during startup that corrupts it. I'm guessing it's getting called before ns_sockselect is really ready to be used, but I can't find where that might be. I searched through and could find no calls to _ns_http_puts, ns_httpopen, ns_httpget, or ns_httppost that precede my redefinition. The only other calls to ns_sockselect I could find are in sendmail.tcl (_ns_smtp_send and _ns_smtp_recv) but those functions seem to be fine. Like I said, I have a workaround that seems to be fine, but this behavior is troubling. I'll be testing it out on other servers in the next couple of days so I'll let you know what I see.
