I am trying to reliably detect socket disconnections in my Flex app. When the server (java) shuts down, my client raises a close event as it should and I can handle that, but the issue comes when the disconnect occurs as a result of a network issue.
I can physically disconnect my network cable from my machine (the server is obviously remote) and I get no notification whatsoever from my app that the socket is down. I don't get a close or ioError event, and if I debug the app, Socket.connected is still true. In fact, I can attempt to write data to the (disconnected) socket without it throwing an error. Thoughts?
