EPIPE in HTWriter

Hi,

I wonder why the handling of EPIPE  in HTWriter.c HTWriter_write (..) is
different from one in HTReader_read. 
In HTWriter:

-----------------------            
#ifdef EPIPE
                host->broken_pipe = YES;
                HTRequest_addSystemError(net->request, ERR_FATAL, socerrno, NO,
                                         "NETWRITE");
                return HT_ERROR;
                    
------------------------

Error code -902 is returned and nothing can be loaded from the same host
during the same program session.

I have changed the code to similar to a code in HTReader.c:  

-------------------------

                HTHost_unregister(host, net, HTEvent_WRITE);
                HTHost_register(host, net, HTEvent_CLOSE);
                return HT_CLOSED;

-------------------------

This causes the library to try to reconnect to a server and the request is
processed successfully.

Are there any problems with such code change?

Thanks,

Olga Antropova.
