I have problem with kannel 1.2.0.
In production enviroment I forced to use kannel 0.12.3.
If I use 1.2.0 under heavy load (realy not so 'heavy', it's about 1-2
request per second) then kannel periodically hangs up for some time.
After some investigation it seems I find where is the problem.
I think it is in http_start_request -> write_request -> conn_open_tcp.
There is remark at begining of conn.c :
TODO: have conn_open_tcp do a non-blocking connect().
So in my case connect blocks fairly often and kannel is
unusable.
I have written an improved version of the HTTP client code which
includes nonblocking connects. It also has features like nonblocking DNS
queries (though further queries do get blocked, but already resolved
addresses continue to work), and the ability to limit the number of
simultaneous connections made to one server. The latter is useful as the
old code could open thousands of connections to a server that couldn't
handle the requests as quickly as Kannel was sending them, overloading
the server. This code is included in the version Kalle posted about
earlier this month.
