I have a simple 10 line ascii text file:
line1CRLF line2CRLF . line10CRLF where CRLF is really two bytes (hex 0d)(hex0a). I use IO::Socket as basis for a client program. my program opens the above referenced file (for read), then reads each line of the file, then sends each record read out through the socket. at the same time, as I read the lines, I write them to a local log file. the point of this exercise is to see why the data sent through the socket DOES NOT MATCH the data sent to the local log file. in the local log file, the written file size exactly matches the file size of the originally read file. all bytes are identically preserved, to include each CRLF byte pair. however, I use 'wireshark' to monitor the client/server communication here and it is able to capture all tcp data being sent through my used port number. wireshark then can save to disk the captured data packet. I discovered that something here seems to be amiss regarding the CRLF byte pair. 'wireshark' captured transmitted data reveals that only the LF byte was being sent!!!!! somehow the CR byte does NOT get transmitted. this has been preventing my client program from being able to work properly with the backend IIS web server. can anyone elaborate as to why this might be happening? ive reviewed the IO::socket documentation and do not see any mention of this behaviour. im pretty puzzled. thanks. greg
