<!--beginarticle-->
<PRE>thanks for your help. suppose that I want to stream live audio. I do not
know how long my audio program will be, and as I stream it, if I have a
timeout, the server will just disconnect the user that listens to the audio
in the browser. and the browser won't reconnect. Would you suggest the
&quot;right&quot; way to implement something like that? Would infinite timeout
suffice? or is it a bad practice? another type of handler maybe?

&gt;<i> Yep. And it will also disconnect if the client sends too much. It has to
</I>&gt;<i> disconnect and reconnect eventually, there's no way around it.

</I>&gt;&gt;<i>     TCP isn't perfect, there is no way to be 100% sure the client is

</I>&gt;&gt;<i>     should make it reconnect.

</I>&gt;&gt;<i>         The receive loop will run for a duration of up to Timeout
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>         milliseconds
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>         after it last received data from the socket, at which point it
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>         will stop

</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>         What socket does it refer to? I had an impression that the loop
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>         handles
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>         erlang messages. Do these messages come through a socket (sorry
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>         about a
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>         trivial question, but I am new to erlang), and this is the
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>         socket that
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>         the docs talk about?
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>         The reason why I am asking is because I used to have a Timeout
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>         of 60000,
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>         and even though messages kept coming non stop, it still kept
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>         disconnecting after a minute, until I set Timeout to infinity.
