It's so that if you write code that just sends continuously, you'll stop sending once the connection dies, even if you miss the close event. The UA doesn't have to actually buffer, just keep increasing the number by the length each time you get a send while closed. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
