A solution may be in calling shutdown() if not called before
by the application before calling closesocket().

I have tried like this with success.

-- without shutdown() ----

accept: 0.000000
recv:   0.011112
send:   0.000069
shutdown: 0.000000
close:  0.328966

-- with shutdown(s,SHUT_WR) ----

accept: 0.000000
recv:   0.012169
send:   0.000089
shutdown: 0.000112
close:  0.000105

Question: Does adding shutdown make the following code
obsolate ? (I have assumed so in my appended patch)

fhandler_socket::close()

---old---
  /* HACK to allow a graceful shutdown even if shutdown()
hasn't been
     called by the application. Note that this isn't the
ultimate
     solution but it helps in many cases. */
  struct linger linger;
  linger.l_onoff = 1;
  linger.l_linger = 240; /* seconds. default 2MSL value
according to MSDN. */
  setsockopt (get_socket (), SOL_SOCKET, SO_LINGER,
	      (const char *)&linger, sizeof linger);
--new----
 if (!saw_shutdown_read () && !saw_shutdown_write ())
    shutdown(get_socket (),SD_BOTH);
---------

Any comments to this ?  What about win95 and other os. Could
there be any problems ?

Regards
Ralf
