How do you flush the send buffer for a channel before disconnecting?

Asked by lyme

I've noticed that if I simply call ircClient.Disconnect(); immediately after calling ircClient.Channels.Leave(channel, "Bye"); the Bye message doesn't have enough time to hit the channel. Is there a way to flush the send queue before disconnecting?

You're right, this is a slight problem at the moment. It is due to the way the client handles the write stream, which is managed by a separate thread, and thus is not always flushed immediately. The 0.4 release will change the underlying network I/O architecture significantly such that this will no longer be a problem. Until then, I recommend you create a simple timeout mechanism using ThreadPool or such.
