Re: LuaSocket - non-blocking connect ?

["Francisco Sant'anna" <francisco.santanna@...>]

Hello,

I'm trying the following code, which never prints "after".
I use the sample echo server in the LuaSocket reference.

local recvt, sendt = {}, {}
local master = socket.tcp()
master:settimeout(0)
local obj = master:connect("localhost", 37500)
assert(obj == nil)
print'before'
socket.select(recvt, sendt)
print'after'

If I try the synchronous approach, it works ok, printing "hello".

local obj = socket.connect("localhost", 37500)
obj:send'hello\n'
print(obj:receive())

Thanks,
Francisco

Doing socket.tcp(), setting it to non-blocking, then call connect(),
then selecting on it should work if I recall correctly.

Even if you don't want to use COPAS, it's code is short, and reading
it would give you some decent sample code.

Cheers,
Sam
