<description>Use accept() rather than AcceptEx() to accept network connections</description>
<syntax>Win32DisableAcceptEx</syntax>
<default>AcceptEx() is enabled by default. Use this directive to disable use of
AcceptEx()</default>
<contextlist><context>server config</context></contextlist>
<compatibility>Available in Version 2.0.49 and later</compatibility>
<usage>
<p><code>AcceptEx()</code> is a Microsoft WinSock v2 API that provides
some performance improvements over the use of the BSD style
<code>accept()</code> API in certain circumstances. Some popular Windows
products, typically virus scanning or virtual private network
packages, have bugs that interfere with the proper operation of
<code>AcceptEx()</code>. If you encounter an error condition like:</p>
<example>
[error] (730038)An operation was attempted on something that is
not a socket.: winnt_accept: AcceptEx failed. Attempting to recover.
</example>
<p>you should use this directive to disable the use of
<code>AcceptEx()</code>.</p>
