Easy. Set a timer handler. When the timer fires, check a flag that says whether or not
there has been any activitiy. If it is false, close the socket. Any time you receive
something, set the flag to true. When the timer fires, set the flag to false. If the timer
fires twice in a row with false, it means there was no intervening activity. (There are
more complex things, such as setting a 1-second timer, and coutning how many seconds have
gone by with no activity, but those are just fancy twiddles of the base algorithm).
