Thank you to both Robert and Eleanor McHugh for your help and inspiriation. It looks like my problem was that, while I was vigilant about flushing the socket on the client side, I wasn't so careful on the server side. I may be back here with more problems but things look like they're working as expected while I'm flushing the socket on the other end. The reason why I didn't post the server side was because it's written in Python and I thought it would have been a bit off-topic here, even though many programmers here are also familiar with that language. Again, thank you all for your help!
