[Help-smalltalk] Sockets.Socket and remote closing the connection

[Holger Hans Peter Freyther]

Hi all,

I have a server that accept(2)'s a TCP connection and then immediately closes
it again. On the Smalltalk side I want to figure out if the connection is
still alive.

Eval [
        s := Sockets.Socket remote: '127.0.0.1' port: aPort.
        s isOpen -> true
        s isPeerAlive -> true (according to netstat it is already in
                               CLOSE_WAIT)
        s canRead -> true
]

is there anything I can do to find out that the remote has closed the
connection? On POSIX I would sooner or later get a -1 on read.
