If the client closes the port, you can simply:
*** server side ***
port: open/binary tcp://:2000
forever [
io-port: first port
wait io-port
data: copy io-port
; etc.
close io-port
]
If you really need read-io, then notice that it returns 0 if the
client closed the port and there is no data to read.
If the client does not close the port, then you don't have any way
to know when it has finished sending data, if it doesn't tell you
somehow. The client should perhaps send the size of the data it's
sending first, or use a special character or sequence to mark the
end of the data.
Regards,
Gabriele.
