wxWebConnect 1.1 with new version of wxWidgets 3.0

[neel5481]

Hi All,

As we are using wxWebConnect 1.1 and wxWidgets 2.8 which is working fine in both windows and linux.

Now new wxWidgets 3.0 stable release is available so we have upgraded to wxWidgets 3.0.

Below code is getting hanged in linux only and not coming out. In windows below code is working fine.

nsIChannel *channel;

// Now, open the IO channel to an input stream form which we'll get the data
nsIInputStream *is;
rv = channel->Open(&is);


In above code Open() call is blocked and not coming out and application is in hanging state.

I think it is issue with threading functionality which is changed in new wxWidgets 3.0 or something else ?

Is there any idea why in new wxWidgets 3.0 , Open() call is blocked.


Thanks in Advance.

You'll probably need to upgrade to wxWebConnect 1.2. Check out the code here: https://github.com/kirixresearch/wxwebconnect

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the reply.

We have checked with new version of wxWebConnect 1.2 with XULRunner version 9.0.1 and wxWIdgets version 3.0.

After using the above version then also we are getting the same issue that "Open" call of nsIChannel gets hanged and program is blocked.

We are suspecting the issue is in wxWidgets 3.0

Because Open call description says below statement.

"Moreover, since this method may block the calling thread, it should not be called on a thread that processes UI events. Like any other nsIChannel method it must not be called on any thread other than the XPCOM main thread."

Please let us know your input.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Ben/Jon

We have tried with xulrunner version 9.0.1 and wxWebConnect 1.2 with wxWidgets 3.0 but then also it is hanging in linux.

Please let us know your thoughts on it.

Thanks in Advance

As discussed, I have never tried anything like it and don't have an environment I could test in. So absolutely no idea.
