Hi Josh,
I recognize the blocking vs. non-blocking issue and plan to address it
in the near future. Thanks for the example. I wasn't sure if callbacks
were the best way to go, or if there was something more elegant I could
do instead.
Implementing it with pure javascript would not be hard, but would double
our maintenance effort. Our client does more than just juggle TCP
connections, so implementing it in C++ allows us to reuse a lot of code.
Thanks for your suggestions. It looks like we're not too far off.
