hi

i wrote a program(in C) that connects to a server
(the server uses a java program)
and receive info from it
the program uses a simple send and recv function calls
and parses the data of course
the receive is timing out all the time as if the server is not sending anything back

from the server terminal my message is received
and it shows that the server is sending back a message
but i am not receiving it


int send_frame(int sock ,char* buffer, int size)
{
int sent;
int length=0;

while(size > 0 ){
sent = send(sock, buffer + length, size-length, 0);
if(sent ==-1){
return ERROR_SEND_SOCKET;
}else if(sent == 0){
return WARN_CONNECTION_CLOSED;
}
size-=sent;
length = length + sent;
}
printf("frame send to client %d\n", sock);
return SUCCESS;
}


int read_frame(int client, char* buffer, int size, int timeout)
{
int rVal;
fd_set set;
struct timeval tv;
int length = 0;

FD_ZERO(&set);
FD_SET(client, &set);

tv.tv_sec = timeout;
tv.tv_usec= 0;
printf("waiting for a message ...on socket %d\n", client);
if((rVal = select(client+1, &set, NULL, NULL, &tv))==-1){
return ERROR_READING_SOCKET;
}else if(rVal == 0){ /* nothing to read */
return ERROR_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT;
}
if(FD_ISSET(client , &set)){
if(fcntl(client , F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK)==-1){
return ERROR_READING_SOCKET;
}
}else{
return ERROR_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT2;
}

//while(length < size){

rVal = recv(client, buffer+length, size-length, 0/*MSG_DONTWAIT*/);

if(rVal == -1){
return ERROR_READING_SOCKET;
}else if(rVal ==0){
return WARN_CONNECTION_CLOSED;
}else{
length = length + rVal;
}
//}
buffer[length] = '\0';
return SUCCESS;
}

but when i imitate the program using telnet the server responds back normally

i also created a simple server simulation and it works fine(my program is sending and receiving messages)

what could the problem be?? a firewall configuration?? Selinux ??

please help me

thanks in advance
alfred gedeon

Could be a number of things. Shut off the firewall, turn off selinux, and use tcpdump to name a few.

-twantrd

i turned off the firewall and selinux
and tcpdump shows the response from the server
but i still can't read the data

here is the result of a tcpdump and it shows checksum error
what could be the problem??
on the test machines it works fine with all the checksums are correct

$ tcpdump -r /home/smartech/Desktop/test2.txt -s0 -vvv -XX

thanks

hi
i solved the problem
the java server (which i did not write)was expecting and CR LF at the end of the input
thats why telnet was working and none of my tests

thnaks again
