Hi there
I'm having some problems with an app I'm developing using gnutls 1.1.22.
It works like a charm, but I'm getting some problems after the app has
been running for a while. Then I get the "Too many open files" error.
I've commented out everything other than the code for the ssl-socket, so
it can't be any other socket/file causing it. The weird thing is that an
"lsof | grep <appname>" shows a huge list with lines like:
<appname> 22554 stefan 351u sock 0,0 7419429 can't
identify protocol
where "351u" goes from low values up to ~1000, and an "lsof | grep
<appname> | wc -l" jumps around a bit and the settles at 2075 every time
and gets stuck there only returning "Too many open files" (which is
after, not 2000 connections, but a lot). I was wondering if I'm doing
anything wrong when I close the sockets. I've tried lots of different
stuff, but nothing has worked so far. This is what I do:
---------------
if(useSSL && sessionInited) {
gnutls_bye(session, GNUTLS_SHUT_WR);
close(sockfd);
gnutls_deinit(session);
sessionInited = false;
}
---------------
Is there anything I've forgotten? Any ideas? Really irritating problem
because everything else works great, except that it stops working after
a few hundred connections :)
Maybe you need close(sockfd) when useSSL is false? Assuming your
application work both with/without SSL. Just an idea.
