RE: problems with ghc-5.02 Socket module (SunOS)

15 Oct 2001


      ...
what am I doing wrong? it worked before ... this program
module Main (main) where
import IO
import Socket
main = do
     h <- connectTo "theopc.informatik.uni-leipzig.de" 
          ( PortNumber $ 9999 )
     putStrLn "connected"
     hClose h
results in
Fail: invalid argument
Action: getSocketOption
Reason: Invalid argument
even though there IS a listener on the socket
(other programs can connect to it).
There are two bugs in SocketPrim.getSocketOption, which are causing
connectTo to fail in the way you reported.  The fix will be in 5.02.1.

Cheers,
