[erlang-questions] Peername of a closed TCP socket

[Malcolm Dowse]

Hello,

When a TCP client disconnects very soon after connecting to an Erlang
server, is there any reliable way of getting the client's remote address?

The inet:peername/1 function returns an error if the socket in question has
closed. As a result, I can't find any better solution than to refactor the
code so that inet:peername/1 is called as soon as possible after the
gen_tcp:accept/1.

Thanks in advance,

malcolm
