client timeout issues

[Ivan Kurnosov <ze...@zerkms.ru>]

I have some Apache Thrift (v.0.6.1) test application with perl-server and
php-client.

The behaviour I cannot explain: If we call server-method with invalid
argument we see the error in server-output, but php-client stays waiting the
response infinitely.

Here are the sources of server:


sub new {

    my $classname = shift;

    my $self      = {};

    return bless($self,$classname);
}

sub DateToTimestamp
{

    my ($self, $date) = @_;

    my $result = CommonAPI::DateToTimestamp($date);

    return $result;
}

eval {

  my $handler       = new RPCHandler;

  my $processor     = new
RPCPerformanceTest::RPCPerformanceTestProcessor($handler);

  my $serversocket  = new Thrift::ServerSocket(9091);

  my $forkingserver = new Thrift::ForkingServer($processor, $serversocket);

  print "Starting the server...\n";

  $forkingserver->serve();

  print "done.\n";
}; if ($@) {

  if ($@ =~ m/TException/ and exists $@->{message}) {

    my $message = $@->{message};

    my $code    = $@->{code};

    my $out     = $code . ':' . $message;

    die $out;

  } else {

    die $@;

  }
}

and client:

try {

    $socket = new TSocket($server_host, $server_port);

    $transport = new TBufferedTransport($socket, 1024, 1024);

    $protocol = new TBinaryProtocol($transport);

    $client = new RPCPerformanceTestClient($protocol);

    $transport->open();

    $start = microtime(true);

    $result = $client->DateToTimestamp('071/26/2011 01:23:45');

    var_dump($result);

} catch (Exception $e) {

    echo 'Exception: <b>' . $e->getMessage() . '</b>';
}


Why is this happening? Is it my fault? Is it expected behavour?
