I am completely & finally confused. Anyways, a fix which i provided initially doesn't deals with timeouts, just picks the right byte. And it works for me. ;) 2010/1/15 Andreas Raab <andreas.raab@gmx.de>:

Absolutely not. Read the comment on shouldSignal:
  "If shouldSignal is enabled the Socket Exceptions   ConnectionClosed and ConnectionTimedOut"
And I guess I should read more carefully, too :-) In any case, timeouts *are* handled via #timeout: and that makes good sense.
(last response to my own post :-)
And of course, the easy to do what you're trying to do is to change:
shouldTimeout     ^timeout > 0 and:[shouldSignal]
This would suppress all timeouts unless shouldSignal is true. BTW, I've never seen a case where I've been using a non-signaling socket stream. Does that case even exist?
I guess no.
