what is the current version of cheyenne encapped with?

2.7.6 ?

2.7.5

Ok, try this : paste the following code in a fresh console (2.7.6) 
and try to reproduce the error :

s: open/binary/direct/no-wait tcp://:8003
append system/ports/wait-list s
s/async-modes: 'accept
s/awake: func [server-port /local err new][
	either error? err: try [
		new: first server-port 
	][
		err: disarm err
		if err/code <> 517 [?? err]
		false
	][
		insert tail system/ports/wait-list new
		new/async-modes: [read]
		new/awake: func [port][
			print "event received"
			probe copy port
			false
		]
		set-modes new [no-delay: on]
		false
	]
]
set-modes s [no-delay: on]
wait [ ]

Test with : p: open/direct tcp://127.0.0.1:8003 close p

goes into an endless loop

Does Cheyenne use the EXTRACT function? A bug with EXTRACT with binaries 
slipped into 2.7.6. DevBase has a fix.

BrianH: yes, that's related to EXTRACT but not with binaries, it's 
a side effect of EXTRACT with hash! values.

Graham: does the test line output an error?

no

mmm...if it's really related to some precise timing, it will be hard 
to track.

>> wait [ ]
** Script Error: Invalid argument: true
** Near: set-modes new [no-delay: on]
false

just tried it again

Ok, so we can now fill a nice RAMBO ticket, with an example code 
:-)

Only Vista?

It seems so. Never saw that on XP.

correction, only Graham's laptop running Vista?

Well, you can even send your laptop to Carl if that helps him fix 
that :-)

haha

so, this doesn't go into curecode ?

or is Rambo being kept for R2 stuff

Nope, R2=>RAMBO, as far as I know.

If you run into any mezzanine bugs in 2.7.6+, please bug me about 
them too, I'll fix them :)

Anyway, I'll remove the 'no-delay mode from Cheyenne in 0.9.19 when 
running on Windows.

Don't suppose anyone else is running Vista who can test this too 
...

What is the no-delay mode?

I'd like to keep my laptop here.

No-delay mode: control of the Nagle algorithm in TCP layer.

It's documented here : http://www.rebol.com/docs/core25.html#sect1.2.3.

That sounds interesting. I look forward to reading the source for 
that :)

(in Cheyenne I mean)

so, no-delay = true, nagle is operational?

That would be no-delay = false.

I'll say the opposite.

Right, no-delay = false => nagle in use

BrianH: do you have a list of patches to apply to R2.7.6 ?

I've just put the [web-public] flag back.

BrianH: about EXTRACT, there's no bug in 2.7.6 I'm aware of, it causes 
a regression on Cheyenne only because the old EXTRACT was wrongly 
returning a block! value when taking a hash! value as input.

That regression is fixed in Cheyenne 0.9.19.

I will be maintaining a patch script for 2.7.6, though it is not 
yet online. All of the patches are in DevBase for now.

No patch-in-place though - replacement functions.

doc, were you going to rambo this 'no-delay issue?

I thought that you would do that  just before sending your laptop 
to Carl. ;-)

I'll fill a new ticket right now.

Is this going to affect Cheyenne much?  It's not as though cheyenne 
would be sending lots of small packets to clients anyway.

I think that the performance difference won't be noticeable.

In the meantime I can use this way to shut down Cheyenne locally 
when my program exits :)

What Vista version are you using? SP1?

No SP installed ... no room on my hard drive to install :(
