As yesterday I spent banging my head several hours to the wall before I got as simple thing as this working, here's how (using dswifi lib 0.3.2):
Explanation: Unlike lot of the other socket libraries, doing a mere closesocket() on closing socket doesn't send the other end FIN message. Instead shutdown() sets an internal flag and next time the Wifi_Timer() is being called it clears the shutdown sequence and sends a FIN/ACK message. If you call closesocket() right away after shutdown() it clears up the records and the timer has never a chance to send the final message.
| Code: |
| shutdown(sock, 2); // request shutdown for both read/write
for(int i=0;i<6;i++) swiWaitForVBlank(); // wait 100ms closesocket(sock); // close socket for good |
