Proper handling of dropped connection

[Brian Reed]

Silc Developers,

Thank you in advance for addressing this issue. I am writing a silc
messenging program with a gui, and am using the silc toolkit 1.1.5
with Visual Studios 2005 and C++.

I am writing a silc client for work in a low and poor connectivity
environment. In the event that the server stops responding (if for
example I lose network connection on the machine or the server just
becomes unavailable), is it necessary to close the connection and keep
attempting to re-open it? Or would it be better procedure to stop the
silc client and start it again?


Thanks Again,

Brian
