Rather than using close, try calling shutdown (2)... (dunno if it will work).
If that doesn't work, then use the socket option SO_LINGER
SO_LINGER When enabled, a close(2) or shutdown(2) will not return
until all queued messages for the socket have been
successfully sent or the linger timeout has been reached.
Otherwise, the call returns immediately and the closing
is done in the background.man 7 socket for more info

Hi, I am trying to send 500K on a asynchronous socket and after I've written all my data, I want to close the socket.
So I send data in a loop, and between calls to "write" I select on the filedescriptor till it is writable again and send more data.
I continue this untill I have no more data to send.
At the end, after sending all my data, I "close" the socket.
However, the client sees a TCP RST packet and only receives partial data.
What am I doing wrong? I though that the close would actually kill the socket after all the data has been sent
Thanks Lee
