Hello,
Currently I don't see any patch available so I am trying to create
one by myself. I see the problem occurs in
AbstractPlainSocketImpl.available() and it seems it is design to
return 0 when meed a closed socket - this may not be correct according
to the spec, thus change it like this. Would someone review please?
I don't think I understand your proposed change as the connection isn't
reset in this case. Maybe you meant to change available to check
shut_rd? In any case, I think we need to be cautious as it would change
the behavior for the EOF case and so could cause problems for existing
applications. There is also a concern for custom SocketImpl
implementations that I mentioned previously. I think that whatever
approach is decided on will also require adding clarification to the
javadoc. So if it's okay with you, I think we should postpone this to 8.
