Disconnected TCPServer thread won't terminate

[kbriggs]

What would happen if I tried to terminate the thread myself like this:

You can try, but it shouldn't make a difference in this case.

It did make a difference. I changed that part of my OnExecute code to this:

Code:

    if Assigned(AContext.Data) = False then
    begin
      st := 'WebSocket Rogue (' + AContext.Binding.PeerIP + ')';
      MadExcept.NameThread(GetCurrentThreadID, st);
      st := st + ' ' + IntToStr(GetCurrentThreadID);
      LogData.Debug(st);
      AContext.Connection.Disconnect;  // rogue connection
      Sleep(1000);
      TIdYarnofThread(AContext.Yarn).Thread.Terminate;  // uses IdSchedulerofThread
    end else

I put that online and checked back 3 hours later. My log had 127 rogue entries recorded (most from Brazil this time) but not a single one of their threads was running. So problem solved, I guess?

I haven't updated my Indy install in quite a while. I have version 10.6.2.5469.  Have there been any changes since then might be relevant to this situation?
