If you check the documentation, you will see that the SocketStream is a
stream for blocking socket. You can't easily make it work with
nonblocking select() calls.

However, if you want to use the stream interface, you can write the
non-blocking stream yourself. If you check the SocketStream at github
(https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/blob/master/std/socketstream.d),
you will see that it is pretty small and easy. You can transfer the
interrupt code inside the readBlock() method.

However, it will probably be for the best to just write your own method
to read for socket until the end of the line.
