AltME: R3 Protocols

GrahamC
the work I was doing recently was turning these old efforts into synchronous forms as in R2
I have this unanswered question on how to deal with network timeouts http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14555961/how-to-handle-timeout-periods-in-rebol-3-schemes
that I need answered.  I'd like some automatic way for tcp to update the waitlist somehow so that if network activity is occuring, the port should not timeout.
any takers?
In R2 you just increase the system timeout value prior to starting your network call
Does everyone remember the old spinning text with network activity from Rebol1 ?
Maxim
IIRC you can still do it in R2.

I have troubles using async mode on schemes. I have my awake handler and I return TRUE on 'read event, but the WAIT doesn't return and waits until timeout. Any ideas what am I doing wrong?
GrahamC
can you break it down into the smallest example?  AFAIK, true at the end of the event loop should cause you to leave it
Rebolek
This should be it. It waits until timeout and then returns data:
send-redis-request: func [port] [
    write port #{2A330D0A24330D0A5345540D0A24390D0A6173796E63746573740D0A24340D0A747275650D0A}
]
read-redis: func [
    "Async HTTP reader"
    url [url!]
    /local spec port
][
    spec: probe decode-url url
    spec/2: to-lit-word 'tcp
    port: open spec
    port/awake: func [event] [
        ;print ["Awake-event:" event/type]
        switch/default event/type [
            lookup [open event/port]
            connect [send-redis-request event/port]
            wrote [read event/port]
            read  [
                print ["Read" length? event/port/data "bytes"]
                read event/port
            ]
            close [return true]
        ] [
            print ["Unexpected event:" event/type]
            close event/port
            return true
        ]
        false ; returned
    ]
    port
]
print "REDIS reading..."
rp: read-redis tcp://192.168.211.10:6379
wait [rp 10]
close rp
print to-string rp/data
It's adapted from the HTTP example where it works fine, but with another scheme I can't get it to work.
GrahamC
Sorry, does the above work or not?
Rebolek
It sort of works. Request is send and response is read back but instead of returning immediately, it waits for timeout. The HTTP example from rebol.net wiki returns immediately.
GrahamC
read  [
                print ["Read" length? event/port/data "bytes"]
                read event/port
            ]
Here you need to print the event data and return true .. not read again
You are timing out because you are attempting to read again from the port when no more data is coming
Rebolek
So why does it work in HTTP example?
Also, changing the READ code to:
            read  [
                print ["Read" length? event/port/data "bytes"]
                true
            ]
does nothing. It still waits until timeout.
GrahamC
the http protocol uses two event engines .. it's complicated
Does it print any data?
