cleaning up a socket with no connection

[neil]

Hi Mark
  When i only reuse sockets that the state is marked TCP_STATE_CLOSED, all works well. A set of sockets are used every ten seconds, and if the socket cant be reused straight away i simply get the next free one, and within the next ten seconds any ones that werent available are now marked TCP_STATE_CLOSED and are available. Do you see any problems using this method, i cant see me needing any more sockets that are available in the pool.

regards
neil

Hi Neil

I an not clear on why reusing a waiting socket is a problem but your method seems good. If it is suitable I seen no problems.

In case you find the need to be able to immediately reuse the waiting sockets I suggest that you send me your project so that I can check out what is behaving differently with your version.
