Closing a session then opening it again.

[Samuel Doyle <sd...@yahoo.com>]

I'm working with some software that doesn't behave as it should always, as a result some requests I make do not always result in all the data that should be received so my session processing just basically hangs. In this case I wish to retry the process again from the start and since I'm uncertain of the current state of session I would like to close/kill it and start again with a new open. Is there anyway I can recycle my old session which I just closed?

Thanks, S.D.

There's no way to recycle the old session, because it is too hard to
generalize the recycling process; it depends highly on the protocol
features.  You will have to create a new session and copy required
attributes from an old session to there.

Of course, please let us know if you have any great idea.

HTH,
