The BufferedReader.ready() method returns false when EOS is reached, which
renders BufferedReader virtually useless for use with sockets as it's
impossible to tell when the peer tries to close it. It's not stated in the
class documentation what BufferedReader should return on EOS, but returning
false doesn't make sense as a readln() will not block but return null. If there
is a reason for having ready() return false when EOS is reached, please make it
an option.
