Well i still prefer something like the C standard library here.
Setting an error code on the first time we see it and then simply
ignore all operations on the socket and let the user check it when it
is necessary.

At the moment i'm writing a webserver and there it works fine without
any exception. Well maybe this simple request/response thing is much
too simple.
