I'm trying to tweak a custom Apache Connection handler. The short description of what I want to do is this:
I receive a connection from an application. I read the message which tells me what work I should be doing. I go off and do the work. In the time that I do the work, the application could decide that it has waited too long and time out the connection. When I get done working, I want to check the socket to make sure it is still connected before I send data across it. I have looked at the docs, but I'm not making much for head-way. Checking the connection to see if it aborted ($c->aborted) did not give me what I need. I've tried polling the socket ($sock = $c->client_sock(); ... $sock->poll( $c->pool, 5, APR::Const::POLLOUT ) ) to see that I can send output on the socket, but this gives me the same result when I close the connection as when I leave it open. Any ideas or pointers on how to do this. Even a redirect to some (helpful) docs (Not the "Possible values: XXXX" docs) would be helpful. Thanks. Ivan
