libuv tcp connections issue

I have the following code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "uv.h"

int64_t counter = 0;

void on_new_connection(uv_stream_t *server, int status);

int main(void)
{
    uv_tcp_t server;
    uv_tcp_init(uv_default_loop(), &server);

    struct sockaddr_in socket;

    uv_ip4_addr("127.0.0.1", 7000, &socket);
    uv_tcp_bind(&server, (struct sockaddr *) &socket, 42);
    int r = uv_listen((uv_stream_t*) &server, 128,
            on_new_connection);
    if (r) {
        fprintf(stderr, "Listen error\n");
        return 1;
    }

    return uv_run(uv_default_loop(), UV_RUN_DEFAULT);
}

void on_new_connection(uv_stream_t *server, int status)
{
    printf("new connection\n");

    if (status == -1) {
        return;
    }

    uv_tcp_t *client = malloc(sizeof(uv_tcp_t));
    uv_tcp_init(uv_default_loop(), client);
//  if (uv_accept(server, (uv_stream_t*) client) == 0) {
//      uv_read_start((uv_stream_t*) client, alloc_buffer, echo_read);
//  }
//  else {
//      uv_close((uv_handle_t*) client, NULL);
//  }
}

I just want to start this server and connecting (via telnet or a browser) to this server. Everything seems ok except that the first connection always print the "new connection" string in the on_new_connection but any new telnet sessions that I start don't print new connection. What am I missing? it seems that the on_new_connection callback is called only once, why?

Why did you comment out the code with the call to uv_accept()? In a connection callback, the user has to call uv_accept() to accept the pending connection. The server i/o watcher is then resumed after this call. In your case, the watcher doesn't get resumed. That's why you observe a single callback.

You're also not checking the status value. You always get the callback, but you don't know if it's an error of some sort

Possibly, you are not specifying the correct port with telnet?

telnet 127.0.0.1 7000
