The "exception" or "expedite" bit will ALWAYS return true for a FILEHANDLE associated with a regular file. According to "man -s 3c select" under Solaris:
----snip--- "File descriptors associated with regular files always select true for ready to read, ready to write, and error conditions." --- end snip --- So it appears the "trick" to solving this problem with UserAgent would be to not call "select_expedite" in _add_in_socket() and _add_out_socket() for those URIs that are file based when running under Solaris. Any ideas how to accomplish this in a generic, friendly way? Thanks Andy Levine
