How to use setSoLinger of Socket class

[Florent Coué]

Hello,

How to be sure that all the data written on the output of a Socket are
really sent after the close of the socket ?
I've seen that it exists a method setSoLinger() who allows to set a delay
before the socket is closed. I tried it but it does nothing. The last data
that I send are thrown away when the socket is closed.
Has the method setSoLinger() the same effect that a sleep() before closing
socket ?

Thanks for help.

Are you calling socket.shutdownInput() and socket.shutdownOutput()
before calling socket.close()?
