Hello,
Thank you for your note, Karen. I fully agree with that, at least I read
exactly this while investigating what does TIME_WAIT state mean.
However, as far as I know there is an OS limit on amount of sockets
being in TIME_WAIT state. Am I wrong with that? I tried different
combinations of Socket options and found out that on Windows with JDK
1.4.2 setting SO_LINGER to "0" makes socket spend no time in TIME_WAIT
state. Any other values makes socket be in TIME_WAIT for default time
(about 60 seconds). I read that setting SO_LINGER to 0 means that socket
will be closed "forcefully" and some data being sent to the server may
be lost, but in Subversion client socket is closed only when data is
received from the server and there is no more data to send or read. I
hope it is safe to set SO_LIGNER to 0 in that case.
