Hi!

I am still using alpha version but it sounds like I should upgrade =)
Thanks for helping out!! Now I know that it should work the way I expected which is always comforting...

Hi:

I tested your code with a fresh copy of LuaSocket 2.0Beta and it works ok:

F:\tmp\luasocket-2.0-beta-win32>lua olle.lua
Binding to host '127.0.0.1' and port 8070...
Waiting packets on 127.0.0.1:8070...
Trying to accept conn 06/20/04 12:27:26
--->    nil     timeout
Trying to accept conn 06/20/04 12:27:27
--->    nil     timeout
Trying to accept conn 06/20/04 12:27:28
--->    nil     timeout
Trying to accept conn 06/20/04 12:27:29
--->    tcp{client}: 00414F70   nil
accept
Client connected
Echoing kajhsdkjashd from 127.0.0.1:8070
Echoing 821681762381 from 127.0.0.1:8070
Client closed connection

Are you trying with the beta version or the alfa version ?

Regards,
Daniel
