Hi everyone, I'm having some problems using long poll implementation. I have a
client event loop which is issuing a long poll packet. I was expecting the
traditional 'comet' long poll behavior to be:
1. Client -> initiates connection with long poll packet
2. Server accepts connection, blocks until
a. Server <- sends response packet -or-
b. it times out (20 second elapses), disconnects
3. Goto Step 1. (client restablishes connection)
Thus, I've implemented my event loops as follows:
function onPacketReceive(String message) {
Packet packets[] = parse(message);
try {
foreach (packet in Packets) {
handlePacket(packet);
}
} finally {
PokerClientConnection.establishLongPoll();
}
}
Am I making a faulty assumption with my client event loop? The behavior I'm
getting is poll like behavior:
1. Client -> long poll packet
2. Server <- empty packet [] in 2 seconds
Why is the server sending me back empty packets? Should I restablish a
connection at this point?
Looking through the code it appears that the poll is queuing packets and
waiting for the client to send a PacketPokerLongPollReturn. Could someone
explain how PacketPokerLongPoll/Return are supposed to be used?
Thanks in advanced for your help,
-Andrew
