Hey bud, Check out the binarysocket class. XMLSocket will always terminate with a null byte \0 - if you use binarysocket instead you'll be able to send any characters you want!

I've been reading and searching the archives about sockets but found nothing that would "solve" my problem, so i was wondering if anyone could give me a light =) Currently I'm tryin to connect a Flex Project using Sockets to a MSN server using MSN Protocol Version 13. The problem im runnin into is that the protocol always ends with an "\r\n" to finish a command, pretty much like this: ">>>" stands for send commands "<<<" stands for received commands >>> VER 1 MSNP13 CVR0\r\n <<< VER 1 MSNP13 CVR0\r\n >>> CVR 5 0x0409 winnt 5.1 i386 MSG80BETA 8.0.0566 msmsgs [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> com\r\n <<< CVR 5 8.0.0566 8.0.0566 8.0.0566 http://msgr. <http://msgr.dlservice.microsoft.com/download/4/5/b/45beb06f-5a08-4694-a bd8-d6e706b06b68/Install_Messenger_Beta.exe> dlservice.microsoft.com/download/4/5/b/45beb06f-5a08-4694-abd8-d6e706b06 b68/Install_Messenger_Beta.exe http://ideas. <http://ideas.live.com/r/n> live.com\r\n >>> USR 6 TWN I [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> com\r\n <<< USR 6 TWN S lc=1033,id=507,tw=40,fs=1,ru=http%3A%2F%2Fmessenger%2Emsn%2Ecom,ct=10627 64229,kpp=1,kv=5,ver=2.1.0173.1,tpf=43f8a4c8ed940c04e3740be46c4d1619\r\n See? Every command line end with an "\r\n" but I dont know how to replicate this using Flex. The Socket class when i send "\r\n" always finishes the send command givin me and EOF (end of file error) in a window executing the app. And the XMLSocket commands are always terminated by a zero (0) byte. So, can someone give me some directions on how to do it? I was able to do it with PHP with ease as I was only sending strings... how to do it with Flex? Any help ppl? Thanks in advance, Michel.
