Re^2: Read Socket data on data, not return

in thread Read Socket data on data, not return

The entire server working code is in the first link: here
I'm only using telnet as the client, which is sending in every character.
client = telnet localhost 2323

thanks!!

Does your local telnet client tell you it's operating in character and not line mode? telnet can operate in either. I find that when I connect to non-telnet servers, my telnet client is in line mode, which would explain why your server is "waiting" for newlines -- it's actually only seeing full lines from the client, not characters. To see your telnet client's current mode, escape into telnet command mode and issue the status command.	[reply]
