Whatever gets through the actual network path will be connected and HTTP will be sent there. in IPv4 only or IPv6 only case) or also connect (in that case we disconnect it since mixing IPv4 and IPv6 will lead to problems with some websites). The other socket will either not connect (e.g. Whichever one is connected first gets the HTTP request sent down. When a request needs to be sent, connect 2 QHttpNetworkConnectionChannel, one with the first IPv4 in the DNS result list, one with the first IPv6 in the result list. You need to pick the preferred protocol (it is IPv6 by default) and it will only 'fall back' on DNS lookup failure, not on connectivity failure.

PING, in particular, will not fall back at all. Individual applications must support the fallback function. Contributed by rueda on from the ecstatic-nostrils dept.

Proposal (simplified)ĭo QHostInfo lookup inside QHttpNetworkConnection Happy Eyeballs is not implemented globally in the Windows XP stack. unwind(8) gains Happy Eyeballs-like flexibility. QHostInfo is used by this Q*Socket to do the lookup. Per host:port QNetworkAccessManager has a QHttpNetworkConnection object.Įach QHttpNetworkConnection has multiple QHttpNetworkConnectionChannel.Įach QHttpNetworkConnectionChannel has one Q*Socket. The Q*Socket classes are more the low level network classes of Qt, we can for now assume the user does the proper thing there himself for now. My eyeballs are very happy one week of blue skies and a lot of good network labs in my SIP training class. Most relevant in short/mid term is QNetworkAccessManager, the HTTP stack of Qt. Nov 162012 I spent last week in Phoenix, Arizona. When a servers IPv4 path and protocol are working, but the servers IPv6. We can dumb this down and try the following first. Happy Eyeballs: Success with Dual-Stack Hosts. There is an algorithm specified there that delays DNS lookups and 'learns' which address family to prefer.

Through a series of collecting hidden eyes and solving short puzzles, the player will discover more behind how true ended up in the maze beneath the Mental. The load balancer would like to stick all the TCP connections from one host to the same server, but due to the frequent switchovers between IPv6 and IPv4 it cannot stick each client to a server.Suggests to try IPv4 and IPv6 at nearly the same time and take 'whatever works', e.g. You Look Happy takes the player through a memory of truefaces’ days of having treatment at the Mental Assistance Department and how it affected him on each day he had at his home. As a user, I experience difficulties to log on the server or random logouts, while the problem lies in unexpected interactions between happy eyeballs and a load balancer. In my experience, this happens randomly with this server, possibly as a function of the IP addresses that I’m using and the server load. This is annoying because the web servers maintain one session and every time I switch from one session to another I might switch from one server to another. Thanks to happy eyeballs, my TCP connections reach different servers behind the load-balancer. Apparently, in this case this was the load-balancer itself that forwarded the data extracted from the connection to one of the server. 65152 : Flags, cksum 0x933e ( correct ), seq 3461360247, ack 3856569829, win 14480, options, length 0Īgain, a closer look at the TCP timestamps reveals that there is a third server that terminated the TCP connection.
