Lua client to Winsock 1.0 server problem

[VeCTeR76]

hi gents,

 

It seems I have a problem when Lua sends data to my server app. The data always seems to be proceeded by useless data. What I mean is: say, the data the Lua script sends is "40 30 70", the server will pick up the data as "kdjfkdj40 30 70" (kdjfk is just some random bytes I picked, it's size is also random, sometimes 0). I used some values to mark the beginning of the data, but I just found this to be annoying, as it shouldn't send useless data. Any ideas?

Grab Ethereal from http://www.ethereal.com/, then you can sniff the network traffic and see whether the problems is on the sending or receiving side.

 

Cheers
