Re: [Boost-users] blocking read after async connect

...

I have a class that performs a timed connect (i.e. using an async connect that returns an error if connection failed/timed-out). However every asio::read/write performed on the socket after a successful async_connect fails.

Any ideas? Is it impossible to perform read/write on such a socket? do I have to stop() the io service to put it back into synchronous mode?

AFAIK, there's no problem to mix sync./async. operations this way. What do you mean by saying "fails"? What error/exception do you encounter?

I find that unless I call io_service::stop() , I can't perform a asio::read(). It's actually on a thread and I'm having difficulty seeing what the exception thrown exactly is ('thread called terminate')
