Re: detecting broken sockets

[Federico Montesino Pouzols]

        Hi,

        Well, I do not know if it is exactly what you are looking for,
but ost::Socket has several methods for handling socket errors:

        * setError, which enables/disables exception throwing

        * connectError, which checks the socket status and returns the
corresponding ost::Socket::Error (this is for checking after a
connect).

        * error, which, given a ost::Socket::Error throws an exception
or simply returns the error depending on what you have set with
setError().
