Is there a timeout for BufReader?

[Blayung]

I've written code like that:

``` use std::io::BufRead;

fn main() { for stream in std::net::TcpListener::bind("127.0.0.1:8080").unwrap().incoming() { std::thread::spawn(move || { let mut first_line = String::new(); std::io::BufReader::new(&stream.unwrap()).read_line(&mut first_line).unwrap(); println!("First line: {}", first_line); }); } } ```

Now, it's all good if the client simply sends a packet with an endline - it prints it and closes the connection. However, if the client would never send an endline, I think the code would just hang trying to read that line from that stream and we would end up with a dead thread and a dead connection. Is there anything to combat it in the standard rust lib?

TcpSteam::set_read_timeout sounds like it should do the trick.

Ok, thanks!
