Hi ppl, im having a little problem with the socket in python... hope u can help me

I have a piece of code where i use the .connect method for connecting at my pc from phone... i exchange some data and bla bla bla and the i'll call the .close() method of the socket... the problem is that the connection is still open... the only way to close the connection is close my app. Can u resolve this issue? tnks in advance!

Are you using Bluetooth or TCP/IP? What kind of data exchange do you do? Plain send and recv?

Hi men, this is the code for my software... i think this is correct... :P let me know where is the error... Also, if u know, tell me how to remove that damn popup with the connection name when i use the .connect method! tnks!

..server="test.test.org"
..porta=5556
..sock=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM)
..sock.connect((server,porta))
..risultato="TEST"
..sock.send(risultato)
..Buffer=""
..Ch = sock.recv(1)
..while(Ch !='/'):
....Buffer+=Ch
....Ch = sock.recv(1)
....sock.close()

Verified that the network connection stays open until the application exits. Possibility to close the network connection filed as enhancement request, id 246.

Many thkns man... i really like u! Plz finally consider the possibility to set a connection as default without making that damn connection list to popup! One api to retrieve the connection and one to set a connection as default! let me know! tnks!

EDIT: Added fixed version of this module.

As I've understood, it is not possible to pre-connect to internet access point in a way that s60/python sockets would re-use that connection. S60/python will always display the internet access point dialog.

However, it is possible to implement your own socket. It is not pretty, nor perfect, but it gets the job done.

Here it is:

iapconnect - tcp/ip socket for s60/python that enables automatic connection to specified internet access point.

This horrible kludge works only with 2nd ed. or later phones (6600>=).
Tested only with 7610.

Download: http://pymbian.sourceforge.net/misc/iap-v0.20051006.zip

Example:

import e32
import urllib
import iapconnect

# return value 0 means that user canceled
default_iap = iapconnect.iap_selection_dialog()

conn = iapconnect.Connection()
conn.connect(u"www.google.com", 80, default_iap)
print "connected.."
conn.send("GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n")
print "sent request"

buf = []
while 1:
    data = conn.recv(1024)
    print data
    if not data:
        break
    buf.append(data)

buf = ''.join(buf)

appuifw.note(unicode(buf[:100]), 'info')

#conn.close() # this will disconnect, but leave gprs active
conn.stop() # this will shutdown the gprs connection

Note, that if you just wan't to close down the connection after the s60/python socket has used it, you can do it, but you have to modify the c++ module a bit (in short, use RConnection.Start to same IAP as s60/python uses, then call Stop).

does anyone out there have any workaround at all for closing a network connection without exiting a java MIDlet on Series 40 phones? We need to keep the java application running, but disconnect GPRS.

thanks!

Hi jiveright and welcome to Nokia Forum,

You just posted a question on the Python part of the forum. You better try on the Java one, you'll get more chances for an answer.
