Currently, time outs for APR/native sockets are managed at the Pollset level. This means all sockets in a single Pollset must have the same time out. This is starting to become a nuisance.
I have already had to add a second Pollset to AprEndpoint to handle separate connection and keep-alive time outs. Now I need to be able to handle infinite time outs for WebSocket and I do not want to have to add a third Pollset. Therefore, I intend modifying the APR/native code to support per socket time outs. I would be grateful if those of you with more C knowledge than I (which is most people on this list) could: a) tell me now if this is a crazy idea (and why) b) keep an extra close eye on any commit of mine that touches the C code. I intend to retain backwards compatibility so newer versions of the native connector will work with older Tomcat versions but Tomcat 7 will have a new minimum native version so that this feature is available. This means that the next Tomcat 7 release is likely to have to wait for the next native release. Looking at the code so far, I am likely to start with some renaming to clarify the current code before actually changing anything functional.
