Hi,
I am currently working on a multi-platform project and I stumbled on
a difference in the behavior of open-tcp-client between MacOSX and
Windows (MinGW) using Gambit-C 4.0 beta20. The difference occurs
when I open a connection to an address where no server is running and
try to read from it. In MacOSX I get an exception and in Windows I
get an infinite loop.
Here is a trivial test:
(define (test-tcpclient)
(let ((p (open-tcp-client (list server-address: "127.0.0.1"
port-number: 8087
eol-encoding: 'cr-lf
))))
(display "test\n\n" p)
(read-line p)))
On MacOSX I get:
*** ERROR IN ##read-line -- Connection refused
(read-char '#<input-output-port #3 (tcp-client "127.0.0.1" 8087)>)
On Windows I get an infinite loop waiting for the read-line to
terminate.
I know I can put some timeout on the read-line but I think the MacOSX
behavior is the correct one.
Thank you,
Francois Magnan
