Hi, RFC 1122 says (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1122) : 4.2.3.6 TCP Keep-Alives Implementors MAY include "keep-alives" in their TCP implementations, although this practice is not universally accepted. If keep-alives are included, the application MUST be able to turn them on or off for each TCP connection, and they MUST default to off. It may be better to use a --keep-alive option rather than a --no-keep-alive option. _____________________________________________________________________________ Ne gardez plus qu'une seule adresse mail !
