Quick

ktor tcp

question. For the below code on a

jvm

environment, when the server abruptly closes, we immediately get a null for

receiveChannel.readUTF8Line()

, but on

iOS

we never get a null and

readUTF8Line()

continues to suspend. Is there a workaround to this? Thanks in advance.

val selectorManager = SelectorManager(<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>)
        val socket = aSocket(selectorManager).tcp().connect("127.0.0.1", 9002)

        val receiveChannel = socket.openReadChannel()
        val sendChannel = socket.openWriteChannel(autoFlush = true)

        launch(<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>) {
            while (true) {
                val greeting = receiveChannel.readUTF8Line()
                if (greeting != null) {
                    println(greeting)
                } else {
                    println("Server closed a connection")
                    socket.close()
                    selectorManager.close()
                    exitProcess(0)
                }
            }
        }
