------------------------------------
Assignee: Matthew Reddington
> TcrConnection::readHandshakeData reads too many bytes
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GEODE-10095
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-10095
> Project: Geode
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: native client

>
> This method is called to read bytes from a socket, and return said data in a
> `std::vector<int8_t>`. For some inexplicable (inexcusable?) reason, the
> method always adds a 0 byte to the end of the vector, as if it were
> null-terminating a string. So, `readHandshakeData(1)` returns 2 bytes,
> `readHandshakeData(5)` returns 6 bytes, etc.
> This is extremely misleading, given the name of the method and the fact that
> the requested number of bytes is a parameter passed in. Also, in no
> circumstance is this method used to actually read a string, i.e. something
> that may require null-termination. Please remove the extra byte from the
> returned vector, and if possible add a unit test to the suite that reads _n_
> bytes and asserts that the method always returns _n_ bytes.
