Title: Devwrite SMTP server timeout (in seconds???)
Post by: MikeR on April 09, 2017, 05:24:34 PM
Devwrite all SMTP server settings works great except the timeout.
Could this be in ms rather than seconds?
Only tried on the Simulator at this point.

Thanks
Mike

Internally it is in milliseconds. Dialog setup is in seconds, and I guess that drove DEVWRITE. Obviously should have converted in DEVWRITE/DEVREAD from seconds to milliseconds, but at this point we probably won't change the instruction implementation.

when I devwrite '30' it does not work. if i devwrite '30000' it works.
If I system config the device with '30' it works.
so I guess I'm wondering if the devwrite is currently ms since the documentation for devwrite states seconds.

Sorry. It is. I was explaining why it was wrong.

Great! Not a problem. I just wanted to verify. I'm sure this has been addressed in the past but I didn't see it.
my apologies for the half-thought out and quickly typed posts. upgrading this tomorrow, trying to add some last minute features and ran into a small hiccup.
Thank you for the unbelievably timely response and a fantastic product.

No. It's a bug, and you're the first to report it. I was so intent on figuring out how we messed it up that I forgot to answer the actual question.

Glad to help.

Since the worst that happens is that your timeout basically goes to infinity, I think we are going to fix this in the controller. Since this has never come up before, we are pretty sure nobody has used this to tweak the timeout, so the impact should be limited.

So FYI...as of the next release this will be working as intended in the controller itself...as seconds, not milliseconds.
