Mmmh. Everything looked as if your code is *the solution*. Then came testing....
I still get these looong reads that completely timeout/block my cgi. Some connects work, a few times and then, nirvana. The cgi immediately returns when I kill the vlc process on the server side.
Somehow I wonder if it's really my read that doesn't return or some hickup on the vlc side.
- Any tips on how I could make my socket reading/connection more robust, so that it cares less about stale sockets? (socat never seems to care..)
- Should I issue the "logout" command vlc provides inside the rc session on each socket connect-command-read-"logout" cycle via my cgi (this cgi will never see much hits) So that vlc knows better: "this client is connecting, asking one thing, then disconnects"? (I know this is lsightly off-perl-topic)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
