Several Errors in Console

[DCaptainFunk]

Hello!

I started hosting a server a few days ago - and everything seems ok - players can join the server and fly without problems, but I see these errors or entries in the console and not sure what they mean - and if there is anything I need to do to resolve these:

LOG ENTRY #1 (not sure what this means):
150104 09:12:16  Remote Access error: socket closed before receiving full data. IP=<ip address - not the servers IP>
150104 09:12:36  Remote Access error 10054 receiving data. IP=<same ip address as in previous line>

LOG ENTRY #2 (I assume this is just a log that someone is checking the server via browser?):
150104 09:24:35  Remote Access: IP=<ip address - not the servers IP>, GET, path=/xml

LOG ENTRY #3 (not sure what this means):
150104 10:59:31  Remote Access error: socket closed before receiving full data. IP=<server ip address>
150104 10:59:31  Remote Access error: socket closed before receiving full data. IP=<server ip address>

Thank you in advance

Hi,

These are all related to someone connecting to your FSHost over an HTTP connection. They could be using a browser, or they could be using FSHostSpy to find a server to connect to.

The error "socket closed before receiving full data" means that someone connected to your FSHost but then didn't send a request for a page. The error "10054" is similar. This normally isn't something to worry about unless you were just getting bombarded with a million hits from one IP. Random connections from around the internet are fairly common these days.

The log entry #2, where it says, "path=/xml" is most likely someone using FSHostSpy and seeing your server in the list of available servers to connect to. FSHostSpy uses that "/xml" path to get each server's data. If a player then clicks the "FSHost Page" button in FSHostSpy, their browser will be sent to your FSHost server to request the main page.

In short, nothing to worry about.

Thanks,
Russell
