Piping files to ncat under MacOS/BSD

[Henri Doreau <henri.doreau () gmail com>]

Hello,

I just noticed that ncat an inconsistent behavior in ncat when
switching between the different nsock engines.

shell1:~$ ncat -l localhost 8080

shell2:~$ ncat --nsock-engine=select localhost 8080 < /etc/hosts #
exit after transfer
shell2:~$ ncat --nsock-engine=poll localhost 8080 < /etc/hosts # exit
after transfer
shell2:~$ ncat --nsock-engine=kqueue localhost 8080 < /etc/hosts #
hangs after transfer

kevent() is kind enough to tell how far we are from EOF on vnodes and
it should be easy to report EOF conditions to the caller. I'll
unfortunately lack time to do it during the next few days but wanted
to report it and provide initial information about this bug.

Regards
