I am aware of all this.
My only 'objection' is that waitfordata() will operate on a single socket only.
Good for single client, bad for server.
How many open sockets must you have to qualify as a server?
Well, you can't get more than ~ 65000 so lets go for half of that :-)
I maybe have cut explanation short a bit, but I meant that not all servers
are internet facing high load ones, where single thread per connection is a
mortal sin.
I understood that. No problem.
Like I said, I'll add a WaitForData() or Select(read,write,exception) or
something similar.
Just trying to find a 'nice' solution for multiple sockets.
Probably a "class function select (array of socketstream)"
