Re: [Boost-users] shutdown( ) blocks forever

Hi, Thanks. A couple of more questions: a) Could you help me with a sample code which handles shutdown gracefully (async shutdown + timer) for iterative servers? b) I have also seen issues where the code hangs just like the shutdown() when I invoke socket_.lowest_layer().cancel(). Is this expected? c) Is this what is the code to be put in the async shutdown handler? socket_.lowest_layer().close(ignored_ec); Regards, Fariya On Wed, Dec 30, 2020 at 8:04 PM Vinnie Falco wrote:

I see that the call to ssl socket member function shutdown() blocks sometimes forever

You are mixing synchronous and asynchronous operations on the same socket, which is generally disallowed. Use async_shutdown instead, and also use a timer to close the socket after some time period (say, 30 seconds).
