if I try to connect the socket with the flag "SOCK_NON_BLOCKING" it doesn't connect and I get error

3: - Couldn't connect

but if I connect without flag the connection is successful, why?

Work: socket_open("127.0.0.1", "1337", SOCKET_TCP, xError, 0)
Not work: socket_open("127.0.0.1", "1337", SOCKET_TCP, xError, SOCK_NON_BLOCKING)

Does anyone have any idea why one works and the other doesn't?

Socket error with flag SOCK_LIBC_ERRORS = 10035, but it's all right, I'm not sending any data before.

explain the situation better....

you have a local server where the socket is binded to 127.0.0.1:1337?

what does mean "outside my bot" ?

also, you should explain why you want to use non blocking flag if everything it's working without it.

I have a discord bot running on the ip 127.0.0.1:1337

and in the plugin I implemented a reconnection system in case the discord bot crashes, but if I use it without the flag the server keeps crashing, and with the flag this does not happen., not to mention that the plugin will be used on several servers.

Maybe the problem is with your server configuration, not the socket. Did you used python or java for that discord bot?

there is no way to be the bot because it works normally when it is without the flag

So what are you saying is that without the flag it works, and crashes randomly, and with the flag it does nothing?

In that case, you should try debugging the server itself if the decoding is decrypted, the connect and disconnect work perfectly and can accept more connexions at the same time...

Anyways, you said that this plugin will be used to send a signal to reconnect the discord bot? Then why can't you just add some functions that in case of the connexions lost, just to reconnect?

Or you can try this thread socket module https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=262924

the freezing comes because of the attempt to reconnect, without the flag when trying to reconnect it freezes the server, with the flag it simply does not connect, but there is no freezing

If you say that your server gets freezer without the flag, when it loses the connexion with the telnet, then use what I mentioned above:

It won't freeze the server because it's thread-safe, but be careful of memory leaks. Also, you have a lot of functions you can use to determine that it's still connected to the server by getting the last error code that looks like that and checking if the data was sent to the server or it raised an error code.
