[cse491] broken pipe when testing with script

[Steve Wakeford]

First, I believe I am implementing all correctly but I am occasionally 
getting a "socket.error: (32, 'Broken pipe')" exception.

I believe this is because my test script is closing the connection 
before the server has sent its echo. If I put in a pause (i.e. 
time.sleep(1)) before my socket.close() calls everything works fine.

Is this acceptable/expected behavior or must this be corrected/handled?

Second, should the server only be echoing on newline? Currently I am 
echoing every character as it comes in (including the '\n' and '.' 
before ending connection). Just want to know if that's OK in 
consideration of future projects.

Thanks,
-Steve
