With a Client application what affe

[sweep123]

With a Client application what affect on the Server does the blocking or non-blocking option on the Client created socket have.

Does the Server work differently with blocking and non-blocking socket.
The reason for this question is I have been asked by the Server programmer to change may socket from blocking to non-blocking, I thought that the Server would not care about this option.

So I nned to change my program logic:-
For blocking = separate thread hang on wait.

For non-blocking = poll for data (may not need a separate thread).

Does the Server care about this option?

Sweep.

No, the server has no idea if the client socket is blocking or non-blocking.
