Hooooy. I tried reading your Java code.. What can I say? There's a reason why I like Python... :-) I couldn't see anything obviously broken in your server, but there's definitely nothing wrong with your python code, except that you call flush() on the socket (fixed in your posted code but not in the linked code.) Here are the results of testing, with netcat substituted for your java server: # on the server side: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ netcat -p 54321 -l hellohi there how are you I'm fine thanks [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ # on the client side: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ python delme.py 'hi there\n' 'how are you\n' "I'm fine thanks\n" [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ So I'm guessing it's something wrong in your java server.
