Description

I noticed that Socket#recv now returns nil instead of "" when the server closes the connection, is it expected? If yes, I suggest mentioning it to the release page.

Example:

# server.rb
require "socket"

port = 3030
server = TCPServer.new("", port)

while(conn = server.accept) #serves forever
  conn.print "hello"
  conn.close
end

# client.rb
require 'socket'

port = 3030
socket = TCPSocket.new("localhost", port)

2.times do
  res = socket.recv(1012)
  puts "received:"
  p res
end
socket.close

jacopo-37s-mb 3.2.0 ~ rbenv local 3.3.0-preview2
jacopo-37s-mb 3.3.0-preview2 ~ ruby client.rb

"hello"
received:
nil

Thanks!
