Agree.

Actually in this case client is not waiting for the response from the server rather it is waiting for new command from
user.
So even though server has sent the response to client, client is not able to receive.
Once client receives the next command to execute, by the time connection has terminated from server side and hence it
comesout with the above message (i.e. server closed the connection...)
Though I am also in favor of providing some error message to client. But with the current infrastructure, I don’t
thinkthere is any way to pass this error message to client [This error has happened without involvement of the client
side].
Comments?
