Interrupting a thread just sets a flag.  It doesn't do anything unless 
it runs across a method call that will throw an InterruptedException 
(ie. Thread.sleep()).

Not sure what you mean here.  The thread waits on the BufferedReader but 
closing the socket closes the stream which should cause an IOException. 
  The server end closing the stream should cause the read to return null 
and the code should print the End of Stream message which it doesn't so 
I don't think that is where it is getting hung up.
