Hi All,

after a client connects to a server, if nothing is sent between them do the sockets stay connected indefinitely?
In other words do QSslSockets or the wrapped native sockets have a build in idle timeout whereby if nothing is sent or received the sockets disconnect?

If sockets do auto disconnect after a period of idle time, how long is this time?
and if sockets do not auto disconnect after a period of idle time what is the role of the option:
Qt Code: 
  1. QAbstractSocket::KeepAliveOption
