Hello Team,

Is there a limit on the amount of data (bytes) that can be received via the
*str = streamSock.recv( 64000 )* stmt below?
Although I put *64000 *bytes, I consistently do not get more than *5562*bytes.
When this happens the server side fails with a *`write`: broken
(Errno::EPIPE)* msg.
I know that the variable, *userCMD_output* contains all the data, since I
printed to the screen for testing.

Thank you


This is the server code:

        require 'socket'
        port = 19557
        server = TCPServer.new("", port)

        while (session = server.accept)
                input = session.gets
                userCMD_output = `#{input}`
                session.write("#{userCMD_output}")
                session.close
        end

This is the client code:

   def runIt( srvr, comm )
        require 'socket'
        port = 19557
        streamSock = TCPSocket.new( srvr, port )
        streamSock.puts("#{comm}\n")
        str = streamSock.recv( 64000 )
        puts "Output from Server: #{srvr}"
        print str
        puts "\n"
        streamSock.close
   end
