[usocket-devel] Detecting whether the other end has closed my socket stream

Hi all!!

The FAQ states:

Reading from a stream which has been closed at the remote end signals an END-OF-FILE condition, meaning that reading from the stream and detecting that condition is the way to do it.

But when a create a server with:

:element-type 'character

I'm able to get an "Unexpected end of file" condition on the server side when the client disconnect.

Unfortunately, when I create the server with:

:element-type 'unsigned-byte

I do not get the condition, so I'm unable to detect when a client has disconnected.

Also, is there any plan to support utf8 streams directly without creating unsigned-byte sockets and converting from/to string to string-utf-8-bytes?

thanks!
