IsClientConnected

[Pete]

I'm frustrated because I used to know the answer to this one...

Can anyone tell me what happens "under the covers" in order to evaluate
IsClientConnected?

In particular, what network traffic (if any) occurs?

TIA,
Pete

It detects only if *no* traffic is occuring anymore between server and
client... :)

Yes, but after the initial request and before the initial response, why
would there be any traffic between client and server? And yet
IsClientConnected is documented still to work in such a scenario.

I must admit this wasn't consistent with my understanding (although as I
said this is somewhat rusty). I thought that an IsClientConnected call
caused the server to initiate some kind of communication in order to
determine that the client is still there.
