Hi.

I have a situation where client waits on recv() on a socket in one thread. And , I am monitoring the same socket for timeout on another thread. When the timeout occurs , the second thread drops the socket.
As a result the first thread waiting on recv() gets a return code 0 (no bytes received ) with no error number set.
Now there is another case where recv() at client returns with 0 before the timeout , which is , when there is an issue with the server and it terminates the connection without sending any data.

Is the above behaviour of recv() in both cases correct ? If yes , is there a way at the client to differentiate between the two cases ? In both cases recv() returns with 0 and no error number.

Please let me know.
