Title: Web Server SOAP example #42... Stops working after a while
Post by: davbrat on April 13, 2012, 08:11:35 AM

Hello All,

When running the SOAP (42) server demo app I get a strange results.
At first the apps  work as expected but after letting the both the Server and Client app sit idle for a while the "communication" between them is broken.

The Server never sees the incoming request from the client app.
Restarting both apps fails to work and only after I reboot will both apps start working again.

I see (using netstat -ano) that the port is still being "listened" to by the server and the firewall is not blocking the port.

Is there a "timeout" of sorts that I'm missing?

Thanks,

Dave B.

No, not a timeout Dave - because there's no connection maintained by programs while they sit around doing nothing.

My guess is something is interfering with the comms. Firewall, anti-virus or something.

cheers

Thanks Bruce,

I didn't think so, IT is looking into it now.

I can only get it to run when I use the IP address of the test computer (both the Server and Client reside in the same folder), it fails when using "local host". When I display the results to the window and I see a reference to it going through Iron Port. 

Iron Port = Not my department, and they need this project so maybe I'll get some attention from IT.

Why it works for a short period then is blocked... has me stumped!
I have no other services using any of the ports I've tried.
