[wt4hq] IARU HQ drawing closer....

[Mario Lorenz]

Hello everybody,

It's getting closer to World Championship time again, and we're getting
ready to prepare this years fight...

So, the obligatory question is: Is there anything new planned for
Win-Test HQ versions this year ? I note that not much development
has happened over the last year, so hopefully not much happens,
especially no incompatible network protocol revision ?



I've also found the WtTunnelClient source on the wintest web server,
dunno if this is new or if I just had overlooked it in the past.
Question: Which C compiler version is this usually compiled with ?

I've looked at the source and see an explanation for a bug that has
plagued us in the past, so I suggest this be fixed:
When you have a busy LAN, and the tcp connection to the server
is temporary lost and reconnected, it happens that at the login stage,
before the login data is sent, tunnel data is being sent, which would
then upset the login process at the server.

Suggested fix is to condition the m_pTunnel->Send(str) in
OnLanNetworkReceive() on m_nTunnelState == CONNECTED and just
for avoidance of Race Conditions move the m_nTunnelState=CONNECTING to
the beginning of ConnectToTunnelSrv()...

Best regards,

Mario
