[flexcoders] Cant receive socket data

[john fisher]

I have a Flex 3.0 app which can connect to a remote socket server, and
send it XML, but nothing happens ( no event fires, no error in debugger)
in Flex when the server returns data. The remote server is appending a
nullbyte to the xml message, and thinks its sending the data.

Ideas?

---------------------------------------------------------
the server code ( perl) snippet:
my $NULLBYTE = pack( 'c', 0 );
....
if (  $1 eq "new" ) {
            print STDOUT "request is: $1 sending xml data\n";
            print CONNSOCK $simdata ;
            print CONNSOCK $NULLBYTE;
}

--------------------------------------------------------

the flex code snippet:


| var socket:XMLSocket = *new *XMLSocket();

  socket.addEventListener(Event.CONNECT, connected);
  socket.addEventListener(DataEvent.DATA, dataReceived);

  socket.connect("localhost", 8989);

 
  *private function *connected(event:Event):*void*
        {
            socket.send(xmldata);
        }
  *private function *dataReceived(dataEvent:DataEvent):*void*
        {
            trace(dataEvent.data);
            var xml:XML = *new *XML(dataEvent.data);
        }
  ----------------------------------------

Thanks
John
