There is a specific MIME definition for ending multipart objects, and that is the terminating separator, e.g.: "\r\n--Separator--\r\n" With double dashes on both ends. But that wasn't my question. I was wondering how to terminate it from the *client* side. Multipart server-push objects that never end are becoming quite common. If it's an error to just hang up on them, what is the correct method? +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | BearHeart / Bill Weinman | BearHeart@bearnet.com | http://www.bearnet.com/ | Author of The CGI Book -- http://www.bearnet.com/cgibook/
