前天有同学在玩erlang gen_tcp的时候碰到了点小麻烦，描述如下：
比如说连接到baidu.com,发个http请求，然后马上接收数据，发现接收出错，wireshark抓包发现数据都有往返发送，比较郁闷。
我把问题演示下：
$ erl
Erlang R14B03 (erts-5.8.4) 1 [64-bit] [smp:16:16] [rq:16] [async-threads:0] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]
Eshell V5.8.4 (abort with ^G)
1> {ok,Sock} = gen_tcp:connect("baidu.com", 80, []).
{ok,#Port<0.582>}
2> gen_tcp:send(Sock, "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n").
ok
3> gen_tcp:recv(Sock,0).
{error,einval}
这个问题的根源在于gen_tcp默认的{active,true},也就是说当gen_tcp收到网络包的时候，默认是把报文发送给它的宿主进程。而gen_tcp:recv是用户主动去拉数据，这二个模式是互斥的。
我们来看下代码otp/erts/emulator/drivers/common/inet_drv.c:7462
case TCP_REQ_RECV: {
..
if (desc->inet.active || (len != 8))
return ctl_error(EINVAL, rbuf, rsize);
..
那就解释为什么 gen_tcp:recv(Sock,0)返回错误码{error,einval}。
同时我们来验证下，报文是以消息的方式发送的。
4> flush().
Shell got {tcp,#Port<0.582>,
"HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request\r\nDate: Fri, 01 Jul 2011 03:51:25 GMT\r\nServer: Apache\r\nConnection: Keep-Alive\r\nTransfer-Encoding: chunked\r\nContent-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n\r\n127\r\n<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN\">\n<HTML><HEAD>\n<TITLE>400 Bad Request</TITLE>\n</HEAD><BODY>\n<H1>Bad Request</H1>\nYour browser sent a request that this server could not understand.<P>\nclient sent HTTP/1.1 request without hostname (see RFC2616 section 14.23): /<P>\n</BODY></HTML>\n\r\n0\r\n\r\n"}
ok

搞清楚了问题，那解决方案很简单，connect的时候把active模式设成{active,false}.
再来演示下：
$ erl
Erlang R14B03 (erts-5.8.4) 1 [64-bit] [smp:16:16] [rq:16] [async-threads:0] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]
Eshell V5.8.4 (abort with ^G)
1> {ok,Sock} = gen_tcp:connect("baidu.com", 80, [{active,false}]).
{ok,#Port<0.582>}
2> gen_tcp:send(Sock, "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n").
ok
3> gen_tcp:recv(Sock,0).
{ok,"HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request\r\nDate: Fri, 01 Jul 2011 05:25:15 GMT\r\nServer: Apache\r\nConnection: Keep-Alive\r\nTransfer-Encoding: chunked\r\nContent-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n\r\n127\r\n<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN\">\n<HTML><HEAD>\n<TITLE>400 Bad Request</TITLE>\n</HEAD><BODY>\n<H1>Bad Request</H1>\nYour browser sent a request that this server could not understand.<P>\nclient sent HTTP/1.1 request without hostname (see RFC2616 section 14.23): /<P>\n</BODY></HTML>\n\r\n0\r\n\r\n"}
4>
搞定！
玩得开心！
