Tweaking IRC disconnect parameters on flaky networks

[galderz]

Hi,

Once certain wifi/lan networks, I'm seeing IRC disconnects happen very regularly. To the point that almost every time I check IRC I've been disconnected.

e.g.

[read:errno=54 from nil]
Disconnected
...

These networks seem to behave well otherwise WRT internet connection. Is there a way to tweak how quickly circe decides/checks for disconnects? e.g. possibility to tweak timeouts?

Cheers,
Galder

Hm. Circe does not set any particular timeouts, this is just normal network connections done with Emacs.

Are you using openssl, gnutls, or Emacs directly for connection?

[galderz]

Hi, just use Emacs directly. Any ideas?

[jorgenschaefer]

Hm. I don't see anything in make-network-process that would affect this I'm afraid. :-(

[galderz]

Actually, I think I'm using openssl since I see:

openssl s_client -connect irc.freenode.net 6697

Anything I could tweak there?

[jorgenschaefer]

Hm. Nothing I saw in man s_client, I'm afraid. You could try gnutls instead I guess, not sure that would solve anything.

Can you still reproduce this with this fix: #377 ? Note that it only works on Emacs 26.1 or newer.

No longer using circe.
