Stream reading through socket

[Srinivasa Raghavan]

Hi all, I am working on Socket communication between XPCOM component and a Server Socket. After establishing the connection between client (XPCOM Component) and Server (server socket), the server tries to pass a message to the client ("You are connected"). The client receives messages sent by server in a thread. While trying to print the retrieved message, i got the message string with some extra characters added to it. The characters looks something like  this "You are ConnectedòÂ>ñx/LºÃ- " How to get rid of this extra characters? The Component code is attached with this. Please help me in this regard.
