Hi,
I've encountered some weird behavior while using the GridFTP C client
API. If I supply any function - let's say globus_ftp_client_mlst()
with a host (URL) for which I have either the wrong credentials or if
there's no GridFTP service running on the specified host everything
works as expected and the function return with something like:
globus_xio: Unable to connect to localhost:2811
globus_xio: System error in connect: Connection refused
globus_xio: A system call failed: Connection refused
or
globus_ftp_control: gss_init_sec_context failed
GSS Major Status: General failure
globus_gsi_gssapi: Error with gss context
globus_gsi_gssapi: Error with GSI credential
globus_gsi_gssapi: Error with gss credential handle
BUT if I pass a hostname to the function that doesn't exist (and
can't be resolved), the function will hang FOREVER (the done callback
won't return) although it should certainly come back with something
like "cannot resolve hostname"?!?
Any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks,
Ole
