java.net.Socket.close() and getInputStream
Hi,
after obtaining an InputStream from a Socket, do I have to close it seperately or does it suffice to close the Socket itself? Thanks, Harald. HK |

If you wrap the InputStream in another stream type, close that instead. In other words, always close the *outermost* stream. /gordon -- [ do not email me copies of your followups ] g o r d o n + n e w s @ b a l d e r 1 3 . s e Gordon Beaton |
