  An input source can be something like a BufferedReader, attached to a local 
Output stream.  Then you read from the socket, and push to the output stream, 
which is read by the input stream.  (Ok, not as easy as all that sounds, but 
it's sound, at least from a Java perspective..)

  No, you just have to be able to tell if there's any data in there before you 
try to read.  If none, don't call revc.

  Agreed there.  Perhaps, on sending the close of stream, it would *WAIT* 
untill the remote end also sent the very same data back?
