Hi,

I need to send individual files to scan, because I check them before
sending to clamd -CONSTSCAN [folder] is not an option-.
With that scheme, I need a session communication opened to clamd.
I also need the CONTSCAN command, which I cannot send in a session.
If I use CONTSCAN the connection will be closed after scanning every single
file.
If I use a pool of socket connections to clamd and I scan 500 files, 500
connections  will be opened and closed.

Again my question: why does clamd closes the socket?

Thank you

Jorge
