QTcpSocket detecting dead peers immediately
-
Hello,
How can I detect when one end of a socket is dead immediately? I have a client and a server and when I pull the chord on the client side it can take up to 1-2 minutes before the server notices that the client is dead and close the socket.. I would like the server to notice it within like a second...

When using TCP I think you can detect whether the receiving socket is still alive by checking the status of the write request. If
writereturns-1, then check for the error, and you should be able to detect a host is down. Note that there's also an error signal. -

@mcosta I have tried setting it to 0 but it doesn't appear to have any effect on windows...
