That pretty much depends on the protocol, though usually it is of no 
consequence; when the request/response -part has been acted out, the 
participants are usually free to continue as they wish. Personally, I 
generally close the socket (on the server side) as soon as I've sent all 
the data I'm supposed to send (and it is not expected that the client 
would write anything more to me) ... and same on client; when I've read 
all I'm expecting, I close the socket.
