Thanks Gary. I was using readers and writers when the problem occured.
 
Thanks for the compacting tip...

Hi Paul

It may depend on the combination of streams/readers/writers you are using. If you are reading plain text from the socket, you should probably be using readers and writers rather than streams.

Incidentally, a more compact way to write your code is:


int x = 0;
ByteArrayOutputStream in = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
while ((x=binput.read(b)) > 0) {

        in.write(b,0,x);
}
System.out.println("Read " + in.size() + " bytes from ITC");

Cheers

Hi

Clearly there is a right way to read a socket and a wrong way. If I
open a socket connection to a windows server to another windows server
and then read the input stream I am able to read all the data
correctly.

If I take the same code an run it on a linux server (reading the socket
on the windows server) then the code on the linux server seems to
receive less data from the windows socket.  2219 vs. 1368 bytes.

I have a sneaky suspicion that it has something to do with byte
encoding differences, but I'm not sure how to solve the problem, or
what the right way to read a remote socket is. Below is a sample of the
code used.

int x = 0;
ByteArrayOutputStream in = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
x=binput.read(b);
while (x > 0) {
        in.write(b,0,x);
        if (x==BUFFER_SIZE) {
                x=binput.read (b);
        } else {
                x = 0;
        }
}
System.out.println("Read " + in.size() + " bytes from ITC");


>>Output on windows:<<
Read 2219 bytes from ITC

>>Output on linux:<<
Read 1368 bytes from ITC

Do you guys know what the right way of doing this is?

Thanks,
Paul
