Re: [Subclipse-dev] Excessive use of TCP sockets

Excuse me butting in, but what really is the problem here? TCP
connections in TIME_WAIT are NOT an indication of any
application-level cleanup issue. One side or the other of a TCP
connection is always going to end up in TIME_WAIT even when the
applications on both ends properly close their connections. It's
part of the protocol, there to guard against delayed/resequenced
packets from this connection disrupting subsequent connections
between the same IP addresses using the same port numbers. TCP will
time them out eventually.

So >100 connections in TIME_WAIT is not a problem unless you believe
that whatever the application was doing shouldn't have required >100
individual connections in the first place. I know nothing of the
code involved here but it seems possible that each call to
getList/getContent/getDirEntry would use its own TCP connection, thus
if you make 100+ calls you might wind up with about that many
connections lingering in TIME_WAIT for a bit. Unless you think that
many connections should NOT have been required for the calls made,
then I don't see the problem here.
