Closing the connection server

[User_Russian]

As an Internet client (connection open function OpenNetworkConnection ()), may determine that the connection was broken server?
I have used this method:

Code: Select all

DisableDebugger
Test=0
SendNetworkData(Connect, @Test, 0)
Err = WSAGetLastError_()
EnableDebugger
If Err
  *Mem = AllocateMemory(1024)
    If *Mem
      FillMemory(*Mem, 1024, 0)
      Test=FormatMessage_(#FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM, 0, Err, 0, *Mem, 1024, 0)
      If Err>0
        ErrorText.s = PeekS(*Mem, Test)
      EndIf
      FreeMemory(*Mem)
    EndIf
 EndIf

It works, but only for TCP connections.
And if you use UDP, then not working properly.

How to verify that the server connection is broken?

Try using the windows API function ioctlsocket. If there is no error, length will return the number of bytes available to be read.

Code: Select all

Define length
Define result
Define socketHandle.i

; make sure the socket is still valid

socketHandle = ConnectionID(Connect)
result = ioctlsocket_(socketHandle, #FIONREAD, @length)

If result < 0; socket error
    ProcedureReturn result
EndIf

Try using the windows API function ioctlsocket.

I known that User_Russian did not pay for PureBasic, uses the pirate copy, and spreads the pirate copies itself. He has not a moral right to get no support.

You should google UDP and learn as much as you can about it before posting such questions. UDP is a connectionless protocol. When you send a packet of data, you have no way of knowing if the packet got there unless you program that functionality in to it. Detecting a disconnect over UDP is something you have to program yourself.
