The goal is to have a fast response, and most decently written text-based protocol servers won't process the input (and see that it is invalid) until a line is received, a timeout occurs, or the receive buffer is full. That is doubly so when the kernel is asked to do line buffering before accept. I think it is fair to say we could continue bike-shedding this for a long time and end up with a fair number of polarized yet irrelevant designs. I suggest folks just code it up and see which ideas break the best on the most networks. ....Roy
