Hi,

I am creating a socket, writting to the socket ( NO Problem so far ), The write that I do basically tells the server to send me an image. However my read(sock,buffer,size) function call, does not allow me to read more than 1448 bytes. Obviously my image is much greater than that.


Thanks in advance, any help would help, especially that I'm a new at socket programming.

You can't just open a socket and throw stuff in it or read stuff out of it. The is a limit due to the recieve window and therefore you reach your 1448 number. It'd be best to send and read with a for loop or something sending data back and forth saying "Hey I got that last packet". . . .

Hi,


Thanks for the help, I was able to recursively read the amount of bytes from the socket with a simple

while( i = read(sock,buffer,amounttoread) > 0)
{

}

However, Im having a problem with the consistency in the read, for instance some time he will read 64( since my amounttoread = 64) in one shoot.

And other time he will read much less then 64 and will take , much longer to read all 64 bytes.

I did this test by placing a cout << " heeloo:" inside the while, And on some occasion heeloo gets printed only once , on other it gets printed 60+ times.

If you know of anything which could help me. Probably a good socket web reference or even a good old fashion BOOK..

Also do you know of any other function other than read(),?

THANKS ALOT
