'Why isn't this c client able to read data sent by this c server if the latter calls the write system call twice?
How come this client is only able to read data sent from the first server write system call ? It correctly reads the data sent by the first write, but not with the second one...
Here's the client :
#include <netdb.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#define PORT 1025
#define SA struct sockaddr
int main(){
int sockfd;
struct sockaddr_in servaddr, cli;
//CREATE SOCKET
sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM,IPPROTO_TCP);
if (sockfd == -1) {
printf("socket creation failed...\n");
exit(0);
}
bzero(&servaddr, sizeof(servaddr));
servaddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
servaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");
servaddr.sin_port = htons(PORT);
if (connect(sockfd, (SA*)&servaddr, sizeof(servaddr)) != 0) {
printf("connection with the server failed...\n");
exit(0);
}
char buff[1024];
while( (read(sockfd, buff,sizeof(buff))) > 0){
printf("%s\n",buff);
}
close(sockfd);
return 0;
}
And here is the server :
#include <stdio.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#define SA struct sockaddr
#define PORT 1025
int main(){
int sockfd, connfd;
unsigned int len;
struct sockaddr_in servaddr, cli;
//SOCKET CREATION
sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM,IPPROTO_TCP);
if (sockfd == -1) {
printf("socket creation failed...\n");
exit(0);
}
bzero(&servaddr, sizeof(servaddr));
servaddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
servaddr.sin_addr.s_addr =htonl(INADDR_ANY);
servaddr.sin_port = htons(PORT);
//BIND
if ((bind(sockfd, (SA*)&servaddr, sizeof(servaddr))) != 0) {
printf("socket bind failed...\n");
exit(0);
}
//LISTEN
if ((listen(sockfd, 5)) != 0) {
printf("Listen failed...\n");
exit(0);
}
for(;;){
len = sizeof(cli);
connfd = accept(sockfd, (SA*)&cli, &len);
if (connfd < 0) {
printf("server accept failed...\n");
exit(0);
}
char buff[]="Hi";
char buff2[]="More data sent..\n";
write(connfd,buff,sizeof(buff)); //work
write(connfd,buff2,sizeof(buff2)); //doesn't work
close(connfd);
}
return 0;
}
I also noticed it works if I put the second write inside a loop that requires a certain amount of time. For example :
long max=0;
while(max<1000000000){
//second write works
write(......);
}
Could someone give an explanation of why write behaves like that and what's going on under the hood ?
