[Gambas-user] Connect hang with latest revision

[Caveat]

Strangely enough, I had a similar problem with sockets in python.  
Turned out that the problem was caused by setting the timeout value on a 
socket, *then* setting the blocking mode.  It seems as if the underlying 
socket 'loses' the timeout value (I actually discovered it when creating 
a help function that showed the state of the socket) when you set the 
blocking mode.

I was seeing the same symptoms as you, I had the timeout set (or so I 
thought!) to 10 seconds and the socket would take more than 2 minutes to 
time out...

I presume under Gambas you have the same possibility to set 'blocking' 
sockets (synchronous) and 'non-blocking' (asynchronous) sockets and to 
set a user-defined timeout value.

Please do try first setting the socket to blocking (synchronous) mode, 
THEN setting the timeout value!

Kind regards,
Caveat
