I was wondering how can I set a timeout on a socket_read call? The first time it calls socket_read, it waits till data is sent, and if no data is sent within 5 secs I want to shutdown the connection. Any Help? I already tried SO_RCVTIMEO with no luck.
I’m creating a socket with socket_create() and listening on it for connections, then when connected I listen for the data and then do something with it. When the timeout hits, I want to run socket_shutdown() and then socket_close().
I did a socket_listen and then I made a manual timeout with time()+2 and a while loop with nonblock set and socket_read() inside. Seems to be working ok. Any alternatives?
UPDATE: I found that setting the socket as nonblocking and then using socket_listen provided the timeout I needed.
