Sorry hit the send button too early! <div>It's number 2 </div><div>I think some solutions would be :</div><div>1) receive smaller N of bytes with a smaller timeout, and loop (accumulate your timeout)</div><div>or</div>
<div>2) use {active, once} and receive messages on your own pace. (control when to timeout)<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 27, 2011 at 2:21 PM, Ahmed Omar <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:spawn.think@gmail.com">spawn.think@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

dear list,<br><br>when calling gen_tcp:recv/3 by specifying a length and a timeout, when will {error, timeout} be a response? Is it:<br><br>1. when no bytes are received for a period longer than the specified Timeout<br>
2. when the number of bytes specified in Length is not received within Timeout<br>
<br>if 2, what is the best solution to actually *not* have a recv/3 timeout while receiving bytes at a very low pace (for instance on very slow connections)?<br><br>thank you,<br><br>r.<br>
