Programming

Hi All

I am creating one client socket with SO_LINGER option Disabled

Code:

   struct linger LingerState = {0, 0};
   if (setsockopt(_hSocketTCP, SOL_SOCKET,
				   SO_LINGER, (const char *) &LingerState, sizeof(struct linger)) == -1)
	{
		cout<<"Cannot set linger to 0 for socket"<<endl
	}

And for Closing the socket I am using following API

Code:

               shutdown(_hSocketTCP, 2);
		close(_hSocketTCP);

Now Problem is during closing when client Send FIN_1 to server ,Server also send ACK for it .But as Linger state is disable client has already closed the socket with out waiting for the ACK message from server. As a result Server didnt get the FIN_2 message and its not able to understand that client has close the socket.So whenever its tries to send next message its(server) getting error Broken PIPE.

So Just want to know if we Enable SO_LINGER option will it fix the problem.
