Hi,

i have a question regarding TCP Streams and request strategies. Lets say i 
have a TCPStream build upon the ReactiveStream Framework. I have a 
Subscriber to consume the incoming data as a Sink using the 
ActorSubscriber. Now my problem is that i have a binary network protocol 
that looks like this:

<protocol> = <header><body>
<header> = LengthField (4 bytes), Type(4 bytes), ....
<body>    = Length and content is dynamic

So my approach was creating a own request - strategy like this: 

class IncomingDataActor extends ActorSubscriber with RequestStrategy {

  
 val HEADER_SIZE: Int = 8 
 var expectedBodyLength: Int = 0 


 override def requestDemand(remainingRequested : scala.Int) : Int = {
  if (parsingBody) {
    expectedBodyLength
  } else {
    HEADER_SIZE
  }
 }


 override def receive: Actor.Receive = {
 case OnNext(data: ByteString) =>
   expectedBodyLength = readHeaderSize(data)
   parsingBody = true
   context.become(parseBody, false)
 }


 def parseBody: Actor.Receive = {
  case OnNext(data: ByteString) => 
   parseBodyAndProcessData();
   parsingBody = false
   context.unbecome()
 } 
}



The problem that i receive all available data in the "non parse body" 
state. Is there a way to deal with that or do i have to implement some 
"buffer" mechanism on my own?

Regards,
Thomas
