using Indy 9 with Delpi 7:
I have the following code for thread execute:
while not Terminated do begin
try
if not conn.Connected then
conn.Connect();
// this will block until satisfied.
msg := RemoteMessageType(conn.ReadInteger);
...
// The above is blocked waiting for the server - I am
// unplugging the network cable here to test the disconnection
// logic below
except
on e: exception do begin
// disconnect detected? The only thing we care about!
if not conn.Connected then
DisconnectNotice.ShowModal
else
DebugLog('Exception in TClientPollThread.Execute: '
+e.message);
end;
end;
end;
//end code
My DisconnectNotice.ShowModal is never called but I get a zillion
messages in the debug log saying 'Socket Error # 10054.'
I could default to always assuming it is an exception due to
a disconnect but would prefer to be able to distinguish. Why is
the connected value still true? Would it eventually become
invalid if I let enough socket exceptions though?
Thanks.
