I have a "freebox", an ADSL modem. When reading various string descriptors, the bLength and bDescriptorType fields are both zero, yet appropriate data follows, see the examples below:
# Format is: bLength bDescriptorType - DATA # where DATA is a sequence of printable characters. # Wierdo characters are replaced by ? (none here), # and null by !. So 0 0 - F!r!e!e!B!o!X!!!!... means # bLength=0, bDescriptorType=0, then # F(null)r(null)e(null)e(null)B(null)o(null)X(null)(null)(null)...) Product: 0 0 - F!r!e!e!B!o!X!!!!... Manufacturer: 0 0 - F!r!e!e!b!o!x! !S!A!!!... Serial number?: 0 0 - 1!.!0!0!!!... Any idea how to handle these strange strings? Could these guys be using an unofficial convention for sending null terminated strings? Thanks, Duncan. PS: The modem happily returns 255 bytes (the amount asked for). All the trailing bytes are zero. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
