<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As far as I can remember, the only gotcha is that
sending buffer must become full first. So, if your sending buffer is *big*, and
traffic volumes are low, it may take a while before the timeout kicks
in.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Actually I'm surprised to hear that this feature is
not supported, as we've been using it since R9 -- I've never used R10, but
jumped straight to R11, so not sure if the problem was introduced in R10. Come
to think of it -- I don't remember testing in on R11. Hmmm... should I be
worried?</FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Hi all<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I am running into the infamous gen_tcp:send/2 that blocks
indefinately issue on R10. Upgrading to R11 is in the works, but it is
not feasible right now.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The undocumented feature of send_timeout in setopts might
be the way out. Can any one that uses this feature tell me what the
gotchas might be with it?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Why is it not a supported feature yet? Under what
circumstances migtht it break?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
