From: Greg Millam Date: 2002-12-19T20:40:28+09:00 Subject: Re: Socket problem This all reminds me - is there a way to make a socket nonblocking? like O_NONBLOCK in C's socket() call. It would seem to me if it could be made nonblocking, a simple call to sock.readlines() would return all data that has already come in, instead of hanging until it's closed like it does with blocking sockets. Just a thought. - Greg -- Greg Millam walker at deafcode.com
