Tom et al,

as you know we are getting a lot of the following exception:

java.io.IOException: Can not read data for version -1. Supported versions: 1,2

with the latest remoting in CVS.

This seems to occur if a socket connection is closed from the client side, which causes the server read to return -1 which it incorrectly interprets as a version number.

I notice in the code of ServerThread you have considered this but decided not to check for it:

 /**
 * This is a best attempt to determine if is old version. Typically, the first
 * byte will be -1, so if is, will reset stream and process as though is older version
 */
// if(version == -1)
// {
// version = Version.VERSION_1;
// inputStream.reset();
// }

Any chance of checking this and handling it gracefully?

Thx
