Title: telnet timeout
Post by: hervé on October 14, 2011, 10:44:02 AM

Hi Mark,

I want to have telnet without timeout

I set telnet_timeout to 0xffff to cancel the timeout but it did nothing.

I didn't find where it is used?

I saw a line

Code: [Select]

       Telnet_socket = fnStartTelnet(temp_pars->temp_parameters.usTelnetPort, (2*60), 0, 0, fnTELNETListener);   // 2 minute inactivity timeout
Can I change there to use telnet_timeout instead (2*60) ?

Regards

Hi Hervé

The variable telnet_timeout is not used (although it is included in the parameters).
If you change (2*60) to telnet_timeout it will then be a real parameter.
Note that you can also use the define INFINITE_TIMEOUT rather than 0xffff to get no timeout on the session; this is however not always advisable since it could leave the single TELNET session blocked forever if the TELNET client crashes and there is no more data sent.

Regards

Mark

Hi Mark,

I changed to add the parameter.
I need it for testing purpose.

Thanks
