CKermit 6.0.192 6 Sep 96 for VMS VAX.
I have a script which does the following:
SET SESSION LOG myfile.txt
:loop
SET HOST www.heaven.sky:80
IF FAILURE end 1 goto hell ; sorry couldn't resist.
SET TERMINAL ECHO ON
OUTPUT POST /cgi-bin/ERIS.pl HTTP/1.0\13
OUTPUT header text (about 10 outputs ended with \13)
CONNECT
GOTO loop
Basically, this sends the equivalent of pressing the SUBMIT button on a
form to a web server and then the connect just waist for the HTML
results to be sent back to me (and logged to myfile.txt). After the
results are sent, the remote server disconnects and the "CONNECT"
statement automatically ends and the script continues.
The PROBLEM:
The script runs very fine for hundreds of transactions, but stops when
trying to send the 242nd transaction.
The message:
Trying 0.0.0.0... (instead of the usual numeric address shown)
TCP socket error: non translatable vms error code: 0x1B4,
VMS Message
%system-f-noiochan, no i/o channel available
can't open connection to www.heaven.sky:80
Further investigation revealed that after a CONNECT completes, the
IPnnnn device is not deallocated and eventually, the process runs out
of resources to allocate those devices.
neither a "HANGUP" or a "SET HOST" after the "CONNECT" makes
a difference.
Stopping kermit and restarting it fixes the quota problem and you're
good for another 242 transactions. (In my case, with current process
quotas, your milage may vary, of course).
