I think you misunderstand. Calling shutdown does *not* block until the receiver has acknowledged all data. It just put a FIN packet into the send queue. > FTP send is one of the few situations where this matters, because FTP > uses the close of the data connection to indicate EOF. Not only. It also uses the server response on the control connection to indicate that all data has been received. Relying on successful shutdown is both insufficient and unnecessary. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10202> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
