But which half? A socket is two independent streams, one in each direction. Twisted uses half_close() for this concept but unless you already know what this is for you are left wondering which half. Which is why I like using 'write' in the name.
Yes, 'write' part is good, I should mention it. I meant to say that I won't need to explain that there were days when we had to handle a special marker at the end of file.
Mystery is good for students.<wink/> Getting serious, "close_writer" occured to me as a possibility.
