Hi, I need to write an Icecast client, it seems pretty straight forward: open up an HTTP connection, send the request, strip off the header and send the rest to the ogg vorbis decoder. My only question is: how does the server know or not know when a client is behind? Should my client only read from the socket when its buffer isn't full? Or is there some other mechanism? What would happen if I read continuously, dropping data that doesn't fit in my buffer?

So you can just rea all the time.
