QTcpSocket reading by chunk

[stef13013]

Hello,

With a "classic" network behaviour, a read() function must be -sometimes- called many times because packets aren't delivered in one chunk
eg:

int siz=2048;
  int len=siz;
 
  while(len>0)
  { 
    siz = read(socket, len);   // returns number of bytes read
 
    if (siz==0)
      return 1;
 
   len-=siz;
  }

int siz=2048;
  int len=siz;
 
  while(len>0)
  { 
    siz = read(socket, len);   // returns number of bytes read

    if (siz==0)
      return 1;
    
   len-=siz;
  }

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Now, with QTcpSocket, do I have the same "problem" or a simple

sck.read(socket, len);

sck.read(socket, len);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

is enough to get all the data "len"gth ?


Thanks

As with any other TCP traffic, you have the same "problem". However instead of such a while loop, you should rely on signals emitted by the socket object.
