  • Is there a way to keep the client alive in rpclib?
    1 project | /r/cpp_questions | 27 Nov 2021
    If by rpclib you mean this: https://github.com/rpclib/rpclib then it's not clear what you're talking about. The code for that client retains the connection to the server for the duration of the connection, though of course if you simply wait for too long without sending anything the connection will time out and get torn down.

    Thanks for all your hard work in the past years. I'm not able to take over as a maintainer, but you mentioned CI rot and I can take thorough look at that! I opened a small PR refactoring the AppVeyor configuration.
