Hmmm? A TCP socket corrresponds to exactly one open file descriptor, which has to stick around for the response data to come back on. "Half-closing" it is just silly, and is only guaranteed to work where both ends expect to handle this case.
Half-closing is the standard way of saying "close when you will", so it's normal TCP-behavior. How many HTTP-servers that handle that I don't know, but I have to agree that it's probably the right thing to do. -- Lennart Regebro: Python, Zope, Plone, Grok http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64
