Hi Alan,

I recognize that this utility function can't compensate for failings of the underlying stream. But I thought async close was the one common action that did work on streams to avoid indefinite blocking.

It would be more appropriate to say that the behavior depends on the underlying stream and not propagate the under specification.

Is it really impossible to specify at least that closing the stream will terminate the read? The wording that Chris has is wording that we use elsewhere too. In general then the InputStream could be to anything and no guarantee that all InputStream implementations could preempt the read. -Alan.
