[Bug] Uninitialized timer, Sending Requests via TCP

[sushant-hiray]

I was trying to run the INVITE tests on top of TCP as opposed to that of UDP.
Here is a minor relevant log:

Is the following function correct place to initialize the timer and fix the bug?

// Create a new connection table.
func (t *connTable) Init() {
    t.conns = make(map[string]*connWatcher)
}

Thanks for spotting this.

That's not quite the right place. It's the timer on the connWatcher:
watcher = &connWatcher{addr, conn, &time.Timer{}, make(chan *connection), make(chan bool)}

This is wrong, the &time.Timer{} needs changing into NewTimer(c_SOCKET_EXPIRY).
I will make the fix soon.

Should now be fixed by this commit

Please retest and confirm.

Can we close this?

Closing for now, will reopen if Sushant comes back to says there's still a problem here.
