class SocketInputStream

Library: Net
Package: Sockets
Header: Poco/Net/SocketStream.h

Description

An input stream for reading from a socket.

When using formatted input from a SocketInputStream, always ensure that a receive timeout is set for the socket. Otherwise your program might unexpectedly hang.

However, using formatted input from a SocketInputStream is not recommended, due to the read-ahead behavior of istream with formatted reads.
