Dear monks,
I faced one problem with sockets and found a solution I just wanted to know I am correct.
I had two socket programs, A and B, A will be receiving data from B, A's socket only reads and B's socket only writes.
Now when the A's socket apart from reading also tends to write some data into the B's socket, but B is not reading, this makes both the program A and B to hang after some time.
I predicted that the read side of the socket is full in B side, so I started to read the data from B's side also apart from writing, the problem got solved.
Now my question is, can we set up a socket(TCP/IP) in such a way that it only writes or reads.(because B is only a simulation program). or just ignore read side at the socket level.
