If user application uses read(); to read data from socket file descriptor, The read() returns 0 when the other side close the connection, so the user application will not block :) There is similar mechanism for select() and poll(). Am I right?

For a http1.0 server, it typically closes the socket after it answers user's request. And if some of the data were lost, user application will be hung up. Can any one of you give me any suggestion?
