As of 2.7.0 trunk, socket.recv does support the second parameter for flags, but it is quietly ignored.

It's an interesting exercise to match the standard Unix flags (http://linux.die.net/man/2/recv) and similar Windows flags against what we can do with Netty 4. I suppose something like socket.MSG_WAITALL can be implemented, but it's worth pointing out that this flag is not available on Windows. In general, in socket-reboot we have tried to do the intersection of socket support for Windows and Unix systems, because at the end of the day we are just simulating C socket semantics on top of Netty.
