Title Body

Here's my code: // Not all headers are relevant to the code snippet. #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <netdb.h> #include <cstdlib> #include <cstring> #include <unistd.h> char *buffer; stringstream readStream; bool readData = true; while (readData) { cout << "Receiving chunk... "; // Read a bit at a time, eventually "end" string will be received. bzero(buffer, BUFFER_SIZE); int readResult = read(socketFileDescriptor, buffer, BUFFER_SIZE); if (readResult < 0) { THROW_VIMRID_EX("Could not read from socket."); } // Concatenate the received data to the existing data. readStream << buffer; // Continue reading while end is not found. readData = readStream.str().find("end;") == string::npos; cout << "Done (length: " << readStream.str().length() << ")" << endl; } It's a little bit of C and C++ as you can tell. The BUFFER_SIZE is 256 - should I just increase the size? If so, what to? Does it matter? I know that if "end" is not received for what ever reason, this will be an endless loop, which is bad - so if you could suggest a better way, please also do so.
