Re^2: Problem Transmitting Data via TCP/IP

[scorpio17]

Thank you! I knew it had to be something simple like that.

But what do you mean "wrongly coded"? How should htonl() be defined?

When I change my code to this:

  #  $socket->send( htonl($request_length) ) or die "3a Couldn't write
+ to socket: $!";
    $socket->send( pack('l>',$request_length) ) or die "3a Couldn't wr
+ite to socket: $!";
    $socket->send( $request ) or die "3b Couldn't write to socket: $!"
+;

I get the expected output in the logging console, and the server seems to write the response to the socket, but my client fails to read the response from the socket.

I get this message now:

5 Couldn't read data from server:

So something is still not quiet right... but I'm getting closer!
