Handling ECONNRESET

[daurnimator]

How should applications handle ECONNRESET? it seems like it should be very similar to EPIPE

Behaviour from http://stackoverflow.com/a/2979806/282536:

# Side A                                # Side B
                                        s = TCPServer.new('127.0.0.1', 3001)
                                        c = s.accept
c = TCPSocket.new('127.0.0.1', 3001)
c.write("hello")
                                        c.close
c.read
# Linux: ECONNRESET
# OS X : returns 0 bytes

The trouble is the internal EOF flag in cqueues doesn't get set in this circumstance.

For now I handled this by checking via socket:error and returning early: daurnimator/lua-http@1255c22
