Accomplishments: *[Ncat]Ncat portable for Windows *[Ncat]--exec server modes are non-blocking on Windows too. *[Ncat]reviewed Marek's new proxy patch *[Ncat]Fix Ncat accepting multiple connections while not in server mode.This might just be a matter of terminology, but what do you mean here? There is "connect mode" and "listen mode" and "broker mode"; do you mean that there was a bug in connect mode or broker mode?It is a matter of terminology because listen mode has three modes: single listen(this one works as expected after my patch), keep-open and broker. By server mode I refer to the last two while the first one is pretty obvious. If this terminology is wrong, feel free to list the correct terminology that I should use and I will stick with that. :-)
Yes, "server mode" make me think of --listen, with or without --keep-open. I would stick to the terminology "connect mode," "listen mode," and "broker mode," because that's what we use in the documentation. I think of --keep-open as an option on top of --listen, not as a mode of its own.
The bug was in single listening mode, because it was accepting more then one connection. The fix is in r24197.
It was accepting them, and then immediately disconnecting them, right? And now it closes the listening socket after the first connection?
