Subject: TCPSocket: how to realize that the other endpoint has closed the connection?

Hi, I open a TCP connection with a server:

  socket = TCPSocket.new HOST, PORT

It's connected. Later the server is stoped or restarted so the TCP
connection gets down. But if in the client I send data using
"@socket.send" then it gets no error at all, it behaves as if the data
has been sent through the socket.

I expected that there should be some method to get the status of the
socket, but I cannot find it. Any suggestion please?

Thanks a lot.
