Right now there's no way to make a bufferevent call shutdown() itself, but what if you have a write handler on the client bufferevent just call shutdown() manually on the fd to send a FIN when the write buffer is empty? You can get the fd with bufferevent_get_fd(). yrs, -- Nick *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@freehaven.net with unsubscribe libevent-users in the body.
