True. You won't get OOB data.

Another idea is after recv() returns EAGAIN, try a read of one byte. Then=

that can see an EOF.

Since you're using select (and I assume eventually kqueue), you should=20
only be looking at a socket that has something on it. You really never=20
should see EAGAIN; if select's working right, to not be able to read would=
=20
imply the other side unsent data. :-)

Take care,
