The collect mechanism will time out internally after no data has been received for a short time, even if the entire specified content length has not been received. I'm not sure what the timing is there, but it's short enough to keep the connection from stalling and induced latency is minimal.

 

 

Re: TCP::notify trigger timing: Great question, and I wasn't aware of that, so thanks for bringing it to our attention. Not sure exactly what the sequence would be, but I am trying to find out.

 

 

Stay tuned for more on this.
