It's very expensive to do what Apache does with threads+Rainbows!. It
also appears that Apache and nginx continues to completely drain the
socket if the client is sending, too (which is your case).
I don't know if there's a way around draining the socket entirely to
avoid connection resets in the client :<
I'm more interested in keeping good clients going and not wasting server
resources dealing with clients I don't want in the first place.

There's a shutdown method in BasicSocket for 1.8

You could emulate lingering close with something like this:
(valid for ThreadSpawn/ThreadPool, not EM/Cool.io stuff)
diff --git a/lib/rainbows/client.rb b/lib/rainbows/client.rb
index b456eca..9d8256a 100644
--- a/lib/rainbows/client.rb
+++ b/lib/rainbows/client.rb
@@ -6,4 +6,16 @@ class Rainbows::Client < Kgio::Socket
include Rainbows::ProcessClient
alias write kgio_write
+
+ def close
+ close_write
+ buf = ""
+ begin
+ kgio_wait_readable(2)
+ buf = kgio_tryread(512, buf)
+ rescue
+ break
+ end while buf
+ super
+ end
end
I'm not going to apply that to Rainbows!, it's needless
overhead/complexity for dealing with clients I want to reject
anyways (and you're still draining the client socket).

Having the kernel handle lingering close() should be an "easier" version
of the above patch (but I think you still need to drain the input as
long as your client is sending).
