Dude, you have no idea what you're talkin about! you can't tell the difference between "my partner is really slow" and "he isn't there anymore", BUT you can easily tell when it is properly closed TCP connection, because recv will return after reading 0 bytes, and this is how you usually know that connection is closed.

P.S.: ~~I'm keen to see example of how you would send SIGPIPE via TCP ;)~~, after rereading it seems that by out-of-band you mean something not related to TCP out-of-band data

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


good chemistry is complicated, and a little bit messy -LW
