Re: Question on <close>

[Robert Burke <sharpobject@...>]

This code occurs in the body of the main loop in my server for an
online card game:

local new_conn = server_socket:accept()

If new_conn was closed after each iteration of the loop, I would have
a problem where clients cannot even remain connected to the server for
long enough to log in.
