I am having problems with a socket connection to a Java server. In java I just open the socket, pass the length and then pass the bits across the socket.
I created a socket object: import socket class MySocket: def __init__(self, host='localhost', port = 28192, buffsize = 1024): socket.setdefaulttimeout(10) self.host = host self.port = port self.buffsize = buffsize self.socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) self.socket.connect((host, port)) def send(self, data): self.socket.send(data) def receive(self): return self.socket.recv(self.buffsize) def sendAndReceive(self, data): self.send(data) return self.receive() def close(self): self.socket.close() But the java server gives the error: WARNING: <Incoming> Message length invalid. Discarding The data is of type string (xml). Am I doing something wrong? I know you have to reverse the bits when communicating from C++ to Java. Could this be the problem? I figured it would not because it said the length was invalid. I just started looking at python sockets tonight... and I don't have a real deep base with socket connections as it is... any help would be greatly appreciated.
