ok. I don't know the reason why the the socker->recv was there... Do you know why?
Maybe better to re-initialize always.

I don't know why it was there, but I suppose that if someone calls connect he wants to reset the connection before connecting, since I could connect to a new host

In connect and connectSSL I see a discrepancy in how timesout are set.
Can you please take a look and make them uniform?
Thanks

as stated here TLSSocketWrapper requires the timeout to be set before the connect is called. In the plain TCP version we call set_timeout before write, I think the reason for this is to update the timeout value internally if the user changes it. I would not touch it for the time being. @pennam can you confirm that?

I think that we can add a sock-> set_timeout() also in arduino::MbedClient::connect(SocketAddress socketAddress) just before nsapi_error_t returnCode = static_cast<TCPSocket *>(sock)->connect(socketAddress); since also TCPSocket::connect(const SocketAddress &address) is using the _timeout value, but i would do it in a separate PR.

in LwIP (underlying implementation of the Mbed networking) the timeout socket-option doesn't apply to connect. it is for read and write operations. (In Arduino read() should not block.) |
so what this flag |
by default connect is not blocking. repeated invocation of connect then can be used to test if it already connected. but the recommended way for LwIP is this way https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/b05f18dad55609ae2a569be81c7535021b880cf3/libraries/Network/src/NetworkClient.cpp#L251 I didn't see how to do it on Mbed networking API |

I think that this timeout setting issue is somehow related to this PR, but it is not addressing the same issue we are trying yo fix. Can we address this on another PR? |
This PR aims to fix the issue for which the client is not able to connect again after the connection is lost. In this way we stop the connection every time we desire to connect to something.
