[Bluez-users] Timeouts

[Pedro Monjo Florit <pedro.monjo@futurlink.com>]

Hi Marcel & everybody else,

I am having some trouble with the timeouts of connections under Bluetooth.

My first concern is the initial connection timeout. I try to send a file 
to a mobile phone using OpenOBEX (I use the BtOBEX_TransportConnect()). 
If the owner of the mobile phone ignores the message that appears in the 
mobile's screen (asking him/her whether to accept the connection), after 
30 seconds the connection fails with "Resource temporarily unavailable" 
(errno=11). How can I modify this 30 seconds?

I can control the page timeout issuing "hciconfig hci0 pageto 8192", 
that will limit the time for (correct me if I am wrong) completing the 
HCI connection to about 5 seconds. But my problem is at a higher level 
(RFCOMM), since the device is whithin range and the HCI connection is 
done correctly. Is there any specific command in the bluez API to change 
the overall connect() timeout? Or is this a Linux issue (something like 
setsockopt())?

In other words, what I want is that if the user does not respond within 
a few seconds (much less than 30 seconds), the connection times out. I 
need that because I may have many clients waiting and I can only 
establish a connection to one at a time and I do not want the other 
clients to wait too long.

The other problem is with the call sdp_service_search_attr_req(). There 
is one mobile that I am testing, that does not always respond (I am 
trying to track down the reason). This call takes about 2 minutes to 
give up so, in the previous scenario, it means that other clients are 
waiting for two minutes, something unacceptable. Is there a way to 
reduce this 2 minutes timeout?

Thanks & regards,

Pedro
