[xml] xmlTextReader on a socket

["Bruce A. Johnson" <bjohnson blueridgenetworks com>]

I am looking at the idea of receiving input for xmlTextReader on a 
network socket connection.  I've only done a little bit of programming 
with sockets, but I remember that it's possible for the task on the 
receiving end to receive an end-of-data response when he issues a read 
and the sender has not sent all the data yet.  The way I've dealt with 
it before is to issue a select() on the socket, and then to read some 
more when the select() says there is more data.

Does anyone know how xmlTextReader handles this condition on sockets? 
Or am I an idiot for even considering this?

Thanks!
