: : Hi all,
: : i tried using a socket from the HawkNL lib to connect to a TCP/IP server. I noticed that
: :
: : nlWrite (sock,str,strlen(str));
: :
: : adds "NL" and a short (representing the size) as prefix
: : to the string str.
: : I hacked it such that the prefix is not added.
: :
: : Is there a clean way to surpress the prefix generation?
: : Thanks,
: : Rick

: You probably tried to connect using the NL_RELIABLE_PACKETS protocol, which is HawkNL-specific. You want to connect using NL_RELIABLE, but you won't get "packetized" input -- it will work like normal BSD socket recv calls.

indeed i used NL_RELIABLE_PACKETS, many thanks!
