|

The current FINGER protocol RFC requires that the client keep the connection
|
||||
fully open until the server closes. This prevents the use of the optimal
|
||||
three-packet T/TCP exchange. (Servers which depend on this requirement are
|
||||
bogus but have nonetheless been observed in the Internet at large.)
