RE: Socket Help

Well how does the server tell the client that it has sent all the data?  Are
you sending the length in the first couple of bytes or using a null
terminated string?  If the server writing multiple lines?  Is the client
receiving partial and not performing a second read?  Is the client trying to
read after receiving all the data?

Hope these q's help,

This is my first attempt at writing a socket server, and it works sorta...
Nearly all of the code was taken from the 'I didn't know I could do that
book :) '

Version 3 code (Multiple clients, 1 server) the server would write the
requests to a prtf, and an audit log to a prtf.  But I'm trying to pass the
results back to the client.

So I added what I thought would be the correct code to the server (WRITE)
and to the client a (READ) command, but the client just seems to freeze.

The server is working fine, because If I open another client and use the
ENDSV command the server completes normally.  So either the write is not
writing anything, or the read is looking at the wrong spot or something...

So I was wondering if any one had any suggestions, or even a way on the 400
to monitor that port to see if any data is present...
