Do you mean a hook before the client calls close on the socket? I'm not sure how one would predict such a thing. A hook after the client calls close seems useless because the client is done calling read, so there is no point in injecting data. = Mike _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Well, I'm scanning data looking for pattern matches. I don't necessarily know the protocol, so I don't know for sure how much data to expect. If I find a partial match in a packet, I want to see if the next packet contains the end of the data I am looking for, so I swallow the packet and wait for the next packet. If it turns out there is no next packet, I've got a problem. If I discard the data, I've messed up the stream. I need to properly reinject it before the socket closes. Why? The socket is closing, nobody will ever read the data. Just throw it away; that's all the system would do if you were to reinject it anyway... This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
