Question

I need to send data over the wire using TCP as a transport layer, and the library racket/tcp works fine for this purpose, but I’d like to set some options for the sockets, e. g. SO_RCVTIMEO and SO_SNDTIMEO.

I’ve found this library vyzo/socket, but I’m not sure it’s the best (and only) option to modify sockets’ parameters, since it described as “BSD/POSIX sockets library for mzscheme” on the official site.

Thanks.

A quick grep of the Racket source (for setsockopt) suggests that there is no built-in interface that you can use to specify arbitrary socket options (all uses of setsockopt that I’ve found use fixed options only). So, I think what you’ve got is probably the best option available.
