In certain conditions (MQTT over SSL, and also some websockets stuff) _keepalive is used as a socket timeout, which is all good until used with
0
, which triggers as #42 describes it "an infinite loop" preventing any connection from being established. Originally in our testing only the SSL code path was triggered, and referring an older change (#578) _connect_timeout can be used as an alternative, which also semantically makes sense.I noticed the same value was used on another socket for websocket transports, and with some quick testing both cases fail with keepalive 0:
Using test.mosquitto.org with websockets:
And over SSL:
Both TLS and WebSocket rely on initial communication beyond the socket connection to establish a connection which makes a timeout of 0 impossible to respect for either protocol.
Using a seperate value which is non-zero seems to make more sense, although the meaning of
keepalive
fits thesettimeout
functionality better, so perhaps only calling it for values greater than 0?
