Please excuse the typical "African" issue but over here the networks are particularly terrible and this does affect us quite badly. I would like to be able to determine whether a connection has been closed by the server or by a network error. I think it would be very handy for the user agent to know if it's caused by unstable network connections or an unstable server and possibly log this somehow and/or communicate this to the user. On the other side, this issue can also be worked around (to a large extent) by getting the server to send a specific "quit" message before closing the connection; if no such message is received the client can reasonably safely assume the disconnect to be caused by a network error. I'm not suggesting any changes at this point in time, just thought I should raise this for comment. Thanks, Charl -- Charl van Niekerk http://charlvn.za.net
