[Qt-interest] set connection timeout on QTcpSocket/AbstractSocket

[Donal O'Connor]

I'm  not sure but I doubt it since I'm using IP's

It gets even stranger, my events and debug messages all come out opposite to
when called.

I've a button to start attempt connection. This then changes the text on
button to "cancel".
however, this change does not happen unless I force to process events before
calling connect like:

QApplication::processEvents();

if (m_tcpSocket->state() == QAbstractSocket::UnconnectedState)

    m_tcpSocket->connectToHost(QHostAddress(m_serverAddress), m_port);


I can't explain it but the things I've called before the connectToHost get
called after the sequence of events/signals I call after the timeout - that
probably makes no sense!


Anyways, the whole thing is acting like a synchronous connect - I've tried
the none blocking fortune client example.
Entered a dummy IP on the same subnet my wifi card configured for with a
dummy port number.

As soon as I click get fortune, the whole client freezes, I can't even move
the application around. As matter of fact,
the whole windows mobile starts getting a little strange. Then 30 seconds
later, the timeout error messagebox comes through and back to normal.


Do you think this could be a bug. I'm using Windows Mobile 6.1 (HTC Touch
Diamond 2) and QT version 4.5.2


Thanks.
