How do I handle parallel reads and writes on a TcpStream?

Question

I read Idiomatic way to handle writes to a TcpStream while waiting on read, but I\'m still unsure of how to handle this. I\'m connecting to a Rust binary via Telnet and woul

Answer 1

I ended up cloning the stream and it's working fine:

let second_stream = stream.try_clone().expect("Cannot clone stream");
let mut reader = BufferedReader::new(second_stream);
let mut writer = BufferedWriter::new(stream);

Answer 2

Just an update for Rust 1.1, this method no longer works. To make this work, I used stream.shutdown(Shutdown::Write) when I was finished with writing to the server socket. I don't know how I would do this if I had to repeatedly read and write from the same connection.
