Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
CUPS 1.7.2
I'm writing a cloud print proxy that maintains a long-term (hours)
connection to the CUPS server at localhost:631. Before every CUPS API call,
I call httpReconnect() to make sure the connection is working.
To test:
- start the CUPS server
- start the proxy
- let the proxy call httpReconnect() - success
- stop the CUPS server
- let the proxy call httpReconnect() - fail
- the proxy handles the error, continues running
- restart the CUPS server
- let the proxy call httpReconnect() - fail
I expect httpReconnect() to succeed after the CUPS server comes back up. Am
I wrong?
