HTTP1.1

[Tanja Godau]

G'day,

I've been happily using the HTTP1.1 client from Johan Blom contained in the 
sowap application to PUT and GET images and text, and to POST data to a form.
 
But have discovered that if I setup several PPP connections and attempt to PUT 
or GET large numbers of files,  e.g. do a few hundred GETs or PUTs one after the 
other, then I eventually get the following error:

	?error("Couldn't create TCP connection ~p",[Tag],tcp_connect),

The tcp connection is opened with:

 	gen_tcp:connect(Host,Port,TCPArgs)

After this I am unable to create any new TCP connections, i.e. I can no longer 
do any http or ftp down- or uploads.

I think the problem may be that I have reached the max. number of sockets I can 
open with Erlang. How many sockets can I open in Erlang? 

How can I check that the socket I have just used has been closed again properly 
or reset before I continue?

Is there anything else new on the HTTP1.1 front? 

(I am working on a PC with RedHat Linux 7.0.)

Thankyou
Tanja Godau :-)
