External Connections
Hi Forte users,
I am trying to use the External Connections class on a Win 95 and a Win
3.11 environment. I am running Forte 2.0.F.4 client and 2.0.H.11 server.
I am trying to connect from the client to a C program through a Socket
connection.
Ironically, on a Win 95 and 3.11 machine, the client connection seems to
close itself if there is nothing to read on the pipe. Has any one
noticed this?
Do we have to keep doing conn.open every time we try to use the
connection? What else can we do?
Thanks in Advance.

Folks,
I solved the problem. It looks like a socket implementation difference
between 16 bit and 32 bit versions of Microsoft OS.
I was expecting a 1Meg Binary Data and so I was trying to read 1 Meg at
one shot. It seems like, since the buffer some where along the line (
may be at the server) can handle only a max of 14K of data, the reader
on the PC closed the connection when it didn't recieve all the 1Meg of
data at 1 shot.
When I changed the length I was expecting to 14K or less, it started
working.
Enjoy!!!
