Poor function name: espconn_regist_time

[kolban]

I was studying the function called "espconn_regist_time" and believe that to be a poor function name. Its purpose is to define the timeout interval for a TCP connection.

A possible alternative might be "espconn_regist_timeout" but better yet would be "espconn_set_tcp_timeout".

On a broader note ... maybe we can find a way to review ALL the exposed SDK methods and see if their naming could be improved?

I agree, naming the functions properly could help a lot!

I'm looking for the function to set the timeout interval for tcp client connection. But sdk manual says it is for tcp server only. Dose it work with tcp client?

Hi,

Sorry that espconn_regist_time only works in TCP server mode.

Maybe you could set a timer to check if ESP8266 received any data, and if not till time out, call espconn_disconnect to disconnect it.
