I've written my own Web server. (Doesn't everyone? :-) Unlike the public domain servers I've seen, I don't time out sends (in response to GET, for example). I've observed that my server process sometimes hangs after a transaction is complete, waiting for a TCP connection to shut down. (On Unix systems, in the close() following shutdown().) I've looked at the logs to try to associate this failing with particular client programs or operating systems or remote hosts, but it seems pretty general. For now I've been forced to timeout the shutdown after 10 minutes. But I suspect there's an OS bug (on my side?: SGI IRIX 5.2) in the area of connection shutdown. (I believe the send timeout on the other servers handles this problem along the way.) Can anyone shed any light on the problem and/or its solution? Dave Kristol
