No
Apparently [fconfigure $socket -error] has not
been implemented on the Mac platform, but the
documentation say nothing about this platform
inconsistency.
This is bad because the http package makes use
of this interface.

I am giving this to Jim Ingham as I don't know anything
about socket handling on the Mac platform. Other choices
would be Daniel Steffen and Jeff Hobbs.

Would the http package mostly work if the Mac socket code just quietly ignored this fconfigure? Neither Daniel or I are terribly familiar with the Mac Socket code, which is very old & crusty.

I don't know. Jeff ?
And if yes, assign back to me and I do the code to ignore
this option.

We should quietly ignore this on the Mac, with a big FIX
comment. Then pass this on to Daniel Steffen or Jim to do
any "correct" implementation.

Enclosed a patch which causes mac fconfigure to ignore the
option.

This patch is now commited to both 8.4cvs (HEAD) and
8.3.4cvs (core-8-3-1-branch).
We have to verify that the code still builds.

Andreas has commited the fix, if there is a build problem, it
should be reopened under another report.
