Re: snort 2.3.3 --enable-flexresp

[hans <rosa.schwein () ma yer at>]

hi 

i think it's a question of speed. i snooped with ethereal
and found, snort does already send a frame with the reset-flag. 
it has an aknowledgement and sequence number which was 
sent befor from the application. i think, the client does 
ignore this reset, as it would expect a sequence number, which 
is higher, than the last one. 
i did run snort and the network-application on the same server.
it seems, snort is always behind the application.

the problem does not appear without content:"hello"; as snort
has enough time to disconnect. the next frame would come 
much later, if data came from keyboard. 
so no problem for snort to disconnect within certain time.

best regards 
hans
