Hello, communion people!
I have a problem and ask for an advice. I'm dealing with sockets on *Linux* platform (Network.Socket). The problem is that I can't fully control timeout for (connect :: Socket -> SockAddr -> IO ()) operation. On my system the timeout is - 3 seconds -
What system? Is the timeout the same with a plain C program? connect timeout is typically 75 seconds. Also note that system timeout is only used when the socket is in blocking mode.
[...] I know that controlling timeout is somehow connected to select(2)
Yes. The only working method is to set the socket to non blocking mode, and use select (or poll/epoll/kqueue).
