The TCP/IP protocol was designed to work over unreliable networks, including sections that hop over radio links and dial-up telephone lines. In a nutshell, the way the internet works is that packets are transmitted and it is assumed that they may or may not arrive at some time in the future. There are timeouts built in, but they are longer than you would probably want, on account of all the unreliable dial-ups between you and the other peer. Therefore, to involve a timeout you need to run a timer in parallel with the send/receive operation and cancel the operation if the timeout occurs before the operation has completed. This is easier with asio's async interface, but you can still do it with the synchronous interface by using SIGALM (or equivalent). The relevant voodoo is documented here for linux: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/signal.7.html On Fri, 19 Feb 2021 at 17:52, Child OfGod via Boost-users < boost-users@lists.boost.org> wrote:
In TgBot library i use under MSVC++, in tgbot/net/BoostHttpOnlySslClient.cpp, a call to boost::asio::read() does not return when internet is disconnected for a few minutes.
I would appreciate any help to get this resolved, i.e. for the read function to return if it fails after some timeout has passed
the code block in the tgbot/net/BoostHttpOnlySslClient.cpp file:
[code] string BoostHttpOnlySslClient::makeRequest(const Url& url, const vector<HttpReqArg>& args) const { tcp::resolver resolver(_ioService); tcp::resolver::query query(url.host, "443");
ssl::context context(ssl::context::tlsv12_client); context.set_default_verify_paths(); ssl::streamtcp::socket socket(_ioService, context); connect(socket.lowest_layer(), resolver.resolve(query));

socket.handshake(ssl::streamtcp::socket::client);
string requestText = _httpParser.generateRequest(url, args, false); write(socket, buffer(requestText.c_str(), requestText.length()));
string response;
#ifdef TGBOT_CHANGE_READ_BUFFER_SIZE #if _M_ARM64 || _WIN64 || __amd64__ || __x86_64__ || __MINGW64__ || __aarch64__ || __powerpc64__ char buff[65536]; #else //for 32-bit char buff[32768]; #endif //Processor architecture #else char buff[1024]; #endif //TGBOT_CHANGE_READ_BUFFER_SIZE
boost::system::error_code error; while (!error) { std::size_t bytes = read(socket, buffer(buff), error); response += string(buff, bytes); }
return _httpParser.extractBody(response); } [/code]
Thankyou in advance😀🙏 _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org https://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
