As per my subject, I'm having some difficulty reconciling what the
requirements are for establishing communications with the testserver
(horizon.opensrs.net:55000). Even with the latest revision of the ApiDocs,
there are glaring contradictions as to how data exchange needs to take
place.
The docs say that in addition to the "Content-Length: x" header, all "lines"
of data (we'll assume those terminated with a \r\n) need to be prepended
with a byte count of the string. The byte count itself must be in
network-order.
Fair enough, but when one looks at the PERL script (OPS.pm) for writing data
to a socket, we see:
sub write_data {
my ( $self, $fh, $msg ) = @_;
my ( $len );
$len = length $msg;
local $SIG{PIPE} = 'IGNORE';
# WRITE HEADERS #
print $fh "Content-Length: $len", $CRLF, $CRLF;
# WRITE DATA #
print $fh $msg;
}
No prepending!
The reason I ask is that I am currently getting stalled at the
Authentication Request phase of handshaking. I send the request and the
server just times out. All XCP messages are as per the documentation
(spotty as it is). Can anyone shed light on this?
Cheers,
