RcvdStream is not the only way to get data from the component.

If specified but wrong, the component will hang, unless the server close the connexion before the length specified is reached. > After all this considerations my conclusions are: > - RcvdCount contains the count of bytes received from the server > - ContentLength contains what specified in the header Agreed. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
