Обнаружение отключения клиента TCP

Question

Допустим, у меня простой сервер и accept() установил соединение с клиента.

Как лучше узнать, когда клиент отключился? Обычно клиент должен отправить команду закрытия, но что если он отключится вручную или вообще потеряет сетевое соединение? Как сервер может обнаружить или обработать это?

Answer 1

Это действительно легко сделать: надежно и не грязно:

        Try
            Clients.Client.Send(BufferByte)
        Catch verror As Exception
            BufferString = verror.ToString
        End Try
        If BufferString <> "" Then
            EventLog.Text &= "User disconnected: " + vbNewLine
            Clients.Close()
        End If

"""
tcp_disconnect.py
Echo network data test program in python. This easily translates to C & Java.

A server program might want to confirm that a tcp client is still connected 
before it sends a data. That is, detect if its connected without reading from socket.
This will demonstrate how to detect a TCP client disconnect without reading data.

The method to do this:
1) select on socket as poll (no wait)
2) if no recv data waiting, then client still connected
3) if recv data waiting, the read one char using PEEK flag 
4) if PEEK data len=0, then client has disconnected, otherwise its connected.
Note, the peek flag will read data without removing it from tcp queue.

To see it in action: 0) run this program on one computer 1) from another computer, 
connect via telnet port 12345, 2) type a line of data 3) wait to see it echo, 
4) type another line, 5) disconnect quickly, 6) watch the program will detect the 
disconnect and exit.
