Thread: c socket send int instead of a char array

Okay, the code you posted doesn't look like it has any problems. Please post the smallest client and server programs you can create that produce this problem.

EDIT: Please also show the command you use to compile, any output from the compiler, and any instructions or data files we need to replicate the problem.

I've found the bug The problem was that i had a

Code:

recv(f_sockd, buf, sizeof(buf), 0);

where buf is

Code:

char buf[256]

but the real received buf was only 5 chars!
So i have changed the above instruction to:

Code:

recv(f_sockd, buf, 6, 0);

and now all works perfectly
