TCP Connection Not Closed after Closing Monitor View
Posted: Fri Sep 05, 2008 7:58 pm
I have stumbled on a problem, however, I don't know if it's with Zoneminder or Firefox.
Using firefox 3.0.1, I open a Monitor view and begin streaming the web cam video from server to my pc. After closing the Monitor view, I see that the TCP connection remains open and the TCP connection continues to stream the video from server to pc even though the Monitor window was closed.
I learned this after getting informed by my IT department that I was misusing company internet bandwidth. I opened a Zoneminder Monitor at work, only for a moment. After closing the window, the connection apparently continued to download 500Mbytes of traffic over the next few hours.
I can reproduce the problem at will now. I simply open a Monitor window, close it, then use netstat -a to see the open connection.
In order to close the connection, I have to completely shut down firefox.
I don't know if this is a ZM or Firefox issue.
I tried a similar test with IE, however, I'm unable to even get into my ZM site using IE. I assume the IE is some other issue.
