Hi all.
I'm running into a curious thing. I am sending encrypted data over a socket
connection. When I send the data, I am using blocking mode, where the commands
look like this:
if tCurrentConnectionA ["ssl"] is true then
put slyEncrypt(tSocketData) into tSocketData
end if
close socket tSocket -- in case it was left open
open socket to tSocket
write tSocketData & linefeed to socket tSocket
read from socket tSocket until linefeed
put it into tReceivedData
if the last char of tReceivedData is linefeed then \
delete last char of tReceivedData
close socket tSocket
if tCurrentConnectionA ["ssl"] is true then
put slyDecrypt(tReceivedData) into tReceivedData
end if
Now just to belay questions that might be asked, I know that the read from
socket is working because I get a salted hash back, so the server is doing what
it is supposed to on the other end.
However when I go to decrypt the hash I am SOMETIMES getting the dreaded Wrong
final block length as an error. Curiously, sometimes it works!
My suspicion is that the hash contains a linefeed (sometimes). So the question
I have is, what character is GUARANTEED to NOT be in an aes256 hash? I need a
delimiter. Read from socket until eof fails with a timeout. That is intensly
unfortunate by the way, it ought to work.
