I don't know that the deadline is necessarily the important part (since the same applies to the conn itself which can be canceled by the user with conn.SetDeadline(time.Unix(1,0) or something along those line). But I take your point about the semantics of the context meaning "cancel this action". —Sam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
