| Description: |
If a comm listening socket receives a connection (say your host is nmap'ed, for example) that does not properly negotiation a protocol version, comm currently calls [error], which results in bgerror being invoked & possibly requiring user intervention to clear the bgerror dialog box. I've modified my local copy of comm.tcl to add support for a "-silent" configuration option that controls whether an error is thrown, after the port is closed, or whether the "error" is just silently ignored. In my patch (which I'll attach), I've set the default for -silent to 0 so that past behavior (throwing the error) is maintained for those who may depend on it. | |||
