3.6.2 Connection Manager

(require web-server/private/connection-manager)

"private/connection-manager.ss" provides functionality for managing pairs of input and output ports. We have plans to allow a number of different strategies for doing this.

(struct connection (timer i-port o-port custodian close?))

timer : timer?

i-port : input-port?

o-port : output-port?

custodian : custodian?

close? : boolean?

A connection is a pair of ports (i-port and o-port) that is ready to close after the current job if close? is #t. Resources associated with the connection should be allocated under custodian. The connection will last until timer triggers.

(start-connection-manager) → void

Runs the connection manager (now just the timer manager).

(new-connection   timeout             i-port             o-port             cust             close?)   →   connection?

timeout : number?

i-port : input-port?

o-port : output-port?

cust : custodian?

close? : boolean?

Constructs a connection with a timer with a trigger of timeout that calls kill-connection!.

(kill-connection! c) → void

c : connection?

Closes the ports associated with c, kills the timer, and shuts down the custodian.

(adjust-connection-timeout! c t) → void

c : connection?

t : number?

Calls reset-timer! with the timer behind c with t.
