Re: [Boost-users] asio ip::tcp::socket::read(), always returns end of file

                       boost::asio::read(sock,b);                }                catch(exception& e)                {                        cout< "End of file"                }

So your peer sends some data and closes the socket. asio::read() reads this data, and then throws the exception. What behavior would you expect? Please note that this is the *only* way this overload can complete. Otherwise, it would just block forever. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/read/over...
