Description:
I need to shorten the time a socket takes to timeout on a connect() request to about 10-20 seconds.
I am currently using connect() with a signal handler catching SIGALRM after 10 seconds to shorten the time it takes for connect to timeout. I was hoping to create some sort of easy solution to my program hanging when trying to connect to a slow domain, but of course, after the alarm, the program resumes right at that connect statement no matter what i put inside the if() statement. Is there any simple solution around the long timeout default in connect(), because I haven't found one yet?
I also looked into select() and setsockopt() but I am still at a loss on which method to use. I need this is purely C/C++ of course. :-)
alarm(10); // sets stuck to true
if(stuck || connect(s, (struct sockaddr *)&addy, sizeof(addy)) < 0)
{
stuck = false;
close(s);
return -1;
}
return s;
