I wonder what's the correct way to check if a socket client is still connected.
Should it be
• socket.isClosed
• readChannel.isClosedForRead
• writeChannel.isClosedForWrite
Or a combination of them?

[ephemient]

it is possible for sockets to be half-closed, so it depends

I think sending some kind of ping packet and receiving the answer is the most reliable solution.
