HI,
Even I faced a similar issue. I don't see any failed TCP connect sequence in
wireshark and the web server is up and running fine.
I guess RTOS is running out of available TCP sockets due to which new HTTP
requests are not being sent out and only after 5-6 seconds everything starts
working fine.
So can we set TIME_WAIT to zero in libcurl and what is the default value
that is already set if any?
Can we control that through lib curl so that the socket does not go into
WAIT state?
