Hi Scott and list. Some time ago I spoke a bit on the mailing list about
an issue we are seeing with FTPAPI when it tries to open a data connection
and fails and the job hangs in a TIMW state. The initial control
connection of the FTP works well and the time-out parameter there works
perfectly when we get no response. It is on the data connections for
directory listings and so forth that we see the issue. We'll see in our
log the directory list was requested, but then the log stops there and the
job stays in a TIMW forever.
I believe you mentioned we'd need to do something similar to some code in
HTTPAPI to allow for a time-out on the data connections. I am willing to
work on this (unless someone has already solved this), but I was hoping
you could drop a few more bread crumbs for me to started on the changes.
Thanks much,
Brian
