the development of FleXML, I can grant you that any patches would be really
welcome and quickly integrated.
+\subsection faq_gras_transport GRAS spits networking error messages
+
+Gras, on real platforms, naturally use regular sockets to communicate. They
+are deeply hiden in the gras abstraction, but when things go wrong, you may
+get some weird error messages. Here are some example, with the probable
+reason:
+
+ - <b>Transport endpoint is not connected</b>: several processes try to open
+ a server socket on the same port number of the same machine. This is
+ naturally bad and each process should pick its own port number for this.\n
+ Maybe, you just have some processes remaining from a previous experiment
+ on your machine.\n
+ Killing them may help, but again if you kill -KILL them, you'll have to
+ wait for a while: they didn't close there sockets properly and the system
+ needs a while to notice that this port is free again.
+
+ - <b>Socket closed by remote side</b>: if the remote process is not
+ supposed to close the socket at this point, it may be dead.
+
+ - <b>Connection reset by peer</b>: I found this on internet about this
+ error. I think it's what's happening here, too:\n
+ <i>This basically means that a network error occurred while the client was
+ receiving data from the server. But what is really happening is that the
+ server actually accepts the connection, processes the request, and sends
+ a reply to the client. However, when the server closes the socket, the
+ client believes that the connection has been terminated abnormally
+ because the socket implementation sends a TCP reset segment telling the
+ client to throw away the data and report an error.\n
+ Sometimes, this problem is caused by not properly closing the
+ input/output streams and the socket connection. Make sure you close the
+ input/output streams and socket connection properly. If everything is
+ closed properly, however, and the problem persists, you can work around
+ it by adding a one-second sleep before closing the streams and the
+ socket. This technique, however, is not reliable and may not work on all
+ systems.</i>\n
+ Since GRAS sockets are closed properly (repeat after me: there is no bug
+ in GRAS), it is either that you are closing your sockets on server side
+ before the client get a chance to read them (use gras_os_sleep() to delay
+ the server), or the server died awfully before the client got the data.
