Using ktor-network I have a case where the server sends a data packet and then immediately sends a RST packet. Is there any way to avoid the race between the socket read and the` IOException: connection reset by peer`?

Can you please share a code snippet to reproduce the issue?

[rocketraman]

I can try to reproduce it but the basic idea is that the server sends data, then does a connection close with RST. On the client, when it tries to do read, the read does not (usually) read the data sent, but instead fails with IOException: connection reset by peer.

I'm actually not sure how to simulate the server-side of this with Ktor: how do I get it to close the connection with a RST? Doesn't seem like I can set so_linger to 0 in the acceptor options.

Unfortunately, at the moment you cannot avoid the race. I've created an issue to address this problem.
