How come the sckt is undefined and conn is true?

{ "type": 0, 
  "#onconnect": function (n) { ... }, 
  "opt": { 
    "host": "example.com", 
    "port": 1235 }, 
  "sckt": undefined, "conn": true, 
  "dSnd": "", 
  "#ondata": function (e) { ... }, 
  "#onend": function () { ... }, 
  "dRcv": undefined }

That's just the way it works. conn:true means that the actual connection succeeded (i think) - however when the socket is undefined it means the connection has now been closed

...which means we have to check if sckt isnt undefined and conn is true in order to ensure that we have a working connection between the server, right?

Ideally you just hook onto the close and error events?

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
