Question

browser causes server side onDisconnect issues

when a client presses the browser back button instead of closing the window then FMS 20+ seconds to fire its onDisconnect servers side function but if the user closes the window then FMS responds right away with the onDisconnect function.....does anybody know a fix for this issue?

    the onDisconnect event always was a headache... try to unplug the network cable from a client connected to the FMS, you will see that the event is never fired. I hope this bug will be fixed in FMS3

    from my experience, the best way to avoid this issues is to make keep-alive calls from the client to the server, then in server-side you can know when a client is not responding for a while and explicitly disconnect it.

    hope it helps
