Hello,
I've implemented a simple TCP server using the ServerSocket class (code below) to communicate with a client. They should just exchange strings. The client comes off-the-shelf with a sensor I need to use and, although I don't have access to its source code, I know all the commands I can R/W from it. The server starts listening and as soon as the client connects to it, the client is supposed to send a string with 3 initialization commands of the type "command 1\r\n command 2\r\n command 3\r\n". \r\n denotes the end of a command.
The problem is, my server can't seem to read this initial string and then the client has a timeout because the server doesn't reply appropriately. I know the initial string packet is being sent because I can see it with a network sniffer (Wireshark). Does anyone have an idea why my server hasn't been able to read it?
Thanks,
Glauber
