My thanks to Gary as well. I found that my own Java server implementation
had the same problem.
My server gets the socket’s input and output streams in a
try-with-resources block, so they are closed when the block exits.
Unfortunately, when either of those streams are closed, Java closes the socket as well!
So, I fixed the user_canceled problem by making a thin wrapper object
around the socket output stream. When that stream wrapper is closed, it
calls shutdownOutput on the socket before closing the original stream
(which then closes the socket). Works nicely.
