<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since we have a critical dependency on noPoll library, I embarked<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">on creating a simple client/server test program using just the noPoll library<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">in isolation to be able to run stress tests against it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have uploaded the test code in GitHub at:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">https://github.com/rpkale/test-nopoll<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The README file explains the test case and usage of the binary.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First the good news:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The abrupt disconnect issue I had reported earlier (which you fixed in the
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">latest version) can be reproduced in minutes instead of hours/days in our
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">production code base. This is the issue regarding occasional split headers
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">arriving at the client.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you run one nopoll_test client instance against a nopoll_test server
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">instance on a different host, you will see that it disconnects within a
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">minute or two with the earlier version of the library. Compiling against your
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">latest version of noPoll, it always survives. If you enable nopoll internal
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">logs, you can see that the recovery condition is hit quite often. Since now only
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">noPoll library implementation is in the picture, this validates that the
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">split headers are indeed in the TCP layer and a not a server implementation
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">artifact.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Once again thanks for taking the effort in fixing this issue since it would
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">have affected all users of the library.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One side note: the internal log messages for this condition is a little<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">misleading. It currently says 'disconnecting' and them recovers instead.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You may want to clean it up at some point.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a couple of other unrelated issues that this test case brings out.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will post separate emails for them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
