Hello all, I did some long overdue networking, and tried ConnectionQueue in 1.3. My changed version, that appears to work, is below. The key to the potential fix is in adding the #yourself to this line: newConnection := socket waitForConnectionFor: 10; yourself. #waitForConnectionFor: returns true or signals an error, the true ends up replacing the socket with a boolean and badness results. Can anyone confirm this? Bill listenLoop "Private! This loop is run in a separate process. It will establish up to maxQueueLength connections on the given port." "Details: When out of sockets or queue is full, retry more frequently, since a socket may become available, space may open in the queue, or a previously queued connection may be aborted by the client, making it available for a fresh connection." "Note: If the machine is disconnected from the network while the server is running, the currently waiting socket will go from 'isWaitingForConnection' to 'unconnected', and attempts to create new sockets will fail. When this happens, delete the broken socket and keep trying to create a socket in case the network connection is re-established. Connecting and disconnecting was tested under PPP on Mac system 8.1. It is not if this will work on other platforms. Fixed to not accept the connection if the queue is full (gvc)." | newConnection | socket := Socket newTCP.
