Re: Abnormal delay while receiving answer from a POST

Morning all,
I agree, the process polls 15 seconds to receive the data.
In the tcpdump trace though, the same data arrive quickly, so something between low level networkand libcurl recv() on the socket generates this wait.
Do you know of a parameter / reason that could explain this ?
The way we use libcurl:
curl_easy_init() once for the application
loopcurl_easy_setopt() to set exchange parameterscurl_easy_perform() to do the exchange cur_easy_reset() to reset parametersand so on

I assume your mailer strips the times then or something because they certainly
don't show up here... But still, look at these strace details:

Is this the last received header?

Timeout the waiting for more data.

> [pid  990] poll([{fd=22, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI|POLLRDNORM|POLLRDBAND}], 1,
> 0) = 0 (Timeout)

... and we see about 14 more timeouts like the one above. Each waiting 1000
milliseconds. That's saying the kernel hasn't delivered any data to the socket
for libcurl to read.

> revents=POLLIN}])

*There*, data has finally arrived after a long time waiting. I can't see that
libcurl does anything wrong there! Can you?

> [pid  990] recvfrom(22, "oll'\" />\r\n      <var name=\"TELID"..., 1731,
> 0, NULL, NULL) = 1731

... and it reads 1731 bytes. I assume the rest then follows as it loops to
read more.
