This won't work, if any of your stanzas get fragmented, either by a network element, or because they are longer that one MTU. Either of these can happen at any time, but won't show up in testing with small packets on a local machine. Jabber-Net now has a comprehensive workaround for this problem, in the form of a port of portions of James Clark's XP parser from Java to C#. XP can deal with partial stanzas quite nicely, and as a side effect, is very fast. _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list jdev@jabber.org http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/jdev
