[Mono-list] Re: XSP page rendering problem

[Nate Chadwick]

Further research and debugging turned up this:  I was using a copy and
pasted for SMTP class that did this after a QUIT (where s is a socket)
:

byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
while (s.Available==0)
{
   System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100);
}

After one post to the ASPX, xsp would become completely unstable
pushing out garbled pages on all subsequent requests as described
below. Previously I had used System.Net.Mail but I was trying to
rollback to 1.1 so that I could use VS 2003 and the vsprj2make add-in.

The attached error also popped up at some point but was behind my
other windows so went unnoticed.  It seems like the bug in the code
caused an infinite loop condition.

At any rate I guess the lesson learned is that when the XSP served
pages come out garbled with gobleygook in them - check your loops.
