some time ago i recevied a patch that tried to do this:

mark a 'forwarded channel' as special if it's a agent connection.
force a close for the send-half if the received half is closed

however, the patch modified the protocol (this was not acceptiple).

are you talking about a shutdown of a socket or of a 'forwarded'
channel?
