I'll take a look at it - maybe there is an easy way to replace
receive_lines with your buffer-approach, which seems more flexible

That could be.  It might even be best to add the feature to nsock
itself.  Or maybe you'll find it more convenient/performant to add it
at another layer.

Well. Actually I proposed this approach some time ago:
http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2006/q4/0127.html

My patch implemented nsock buffering in next layer, after nsock.

Great!  I knew I had seen that somewhere before, but I wasn't able to
find it.  The fact that two different people implemented this
independently suggests that it is quite valuable.  So I hope that your
implementation, or Doug's, or another one gets integrated.  Diman and
Stoiko are currently guiding the NSE ship.

Cheers,
