Re: [Boost-users] asio ip::tcp::socket::read(), always returns end of file

6 Jun 2011

      This code reproduces the problem.  I am not able to find why exception
is thrown. I have removed error checking to make the code to read
easier.

Thanks,
  Lloyd

class Connection:public boost::enable_shared_from_this<Connection>
{
public:
	Connection(boost::asio::io_service& ios):sock(ios)
	{
	}
	void Connect()
	{
		sock.connect(boost::asio::ip::tcp::endpoint(boost::asio::ip::address_v4::from_string("172.16.29.12"),13));
		boost::asio::write(sock,boost::asio::buffer("RUN 1\r\n",7));
		try
		{
			boost::asio::streambuf b;
			boost::asio::read(sock,b);
		}
		catch(exception& e)
		{
			cout< "End of file"
		}
	}
private:
	boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket sock;

};

class MainClass
{
public:
	void Connect()
	{
		boost::thread_group tg;
		tg.create_thread(boost::bind(&MainClass::Thread,this));
		tg.join_all();
	}

	void Thread()
	{
		boost::asio::io_service ios;
		boost::shared_ptr<Connection> asc=boost::shared_ptr<Connection>(new
Connection(ios));
		asc->Connect();
		ios.run();
	}
};

int main()
{
	MainClass mc;
	mc.Connect();
	return 0;
}

Thanks Martin. The server sends back the data, I have checked it with
wireshark. I am able to sniff and see the data.
This program is not using any complex protocol, it is simple "tcp"
based text protocol. first of all am not able to read anything from
the server.
One more thing I would like to add is the async_connect() is called
from a thread, the io_service is also inside the thread. there are
multiple treads like this. But I have tried removing the thread, that
too does not mak any difference. I have also tried blocking
connect(),write(), and read(), now also the read fails!
If this post is not clear, I am ready to post my code...
Thanks

Hi Lloyd,
...
I have an asio::ip::tcp::socket.  Whenever I try to read from it, it
throws an exception "end of file". But it is possible to write to the
socket at any time! This is a client side application, it connects to
the server using asio::async_connect(). The server is sending back the
data, I checked it with wireshark. I tried using the both async_read()
and read(), in both cases it fails with the same error. But both
async_write(), and write() works perfectly. What could be the reason?
You don't provide a lot of information about the protocol, but the behavior you are seeing might be the server shutting down the servers' sending side of the connection, like
sock.shutdown(boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket::shutdown_send, error);
which still will leave the client able to write() data to the socket. The client should be able to read the data sent from the server before the shutdown() though.
Just an idea.
Best regards,
Martin Dyring-Andersen
