[PATCH] http: enable keepalive on TCP sockets

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is a follow up to commit e47a8583a20256851e7fc882233e3bd5bf33dc6e
(enable SO_KEEPALIVE for connected TCP sockets).

Sockets may never receive notification of some link errors,
causing "git fetch" or similar processes to hang forever.
Enabling keepalive messages allows hung processes to error out
after a few minutes/hours depending on the keepalive settings of
the system.

I noticed this problem with some non-interactive cronjobs getting
hung when talking to HTTP servers.
