How do you access to that info from python/java/erlang/god knows?.

The machine could crash before processing that instance, for example. I think we are mixing two issues: - - To detect if a idle connection is "alive". You approach would work, but OS/language portability would be an issue. - - To know if a server has received and processed an stanza. The only reliable way to do that is application ACKs. > Thus, we should try to convince makers of socket APIs to include > functions to do just that. Or did I miss anything?
