Woohoo! I get consistent success with this bit of code in lieu of the
patch being discussed/tweaked in this thread. I think this means that
simply calling recv() to change some aspect of the socket state is
what is needed, and the problem isn't related to the queuing of any
pre-read data. (That's not to say that this is the desired way to
change that state, but it is better than nothing.)
#define TO_PEEK 1
if (TO_PEEK > 0 &&
(context->overlapped.Pointer == NULL) &&
(context->accept_socket != INVALID_SOCKET)) {
char buffer[TO_PEEK];
rc = recv(context->accept_socket, buffer, TO_PEEK, MSG_PEEK);
if (rc == SOCKET_ERROR) {
ap_log_error(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_ERR, apr_get_netos_error(),
ap_server_conf, APLOGNO(00365)
"worker_main: recv(MSG_PEEK) error");
}
}
