Socket streams cannot be flushed

Archives Forums/BlitzMax Bug Reports/Socket streams cannot be flushed

Otus	(Posted 2009) [#1]

Flush on a stream: "Flushes any internal stream buffers." However, for socket streams this is not supported. The following example should produce the same results with Flush as with Close, but does not. Without Close the client does not get the message.

SuperStrict
Framework BRL.StandardIO
Import BRL.SocketStream

Local server:TSocket = CreateTCPSocket()

If server.Bind(12345)
	Print "I'm server"
	server.Listen(0)
	Local conn:TSocket = server.Accept(10000)
	If conn
		Local s:TStream = CreateSocketStream(conn)
		s.WriteLine "Hello World!"
		s.Flush
		'conn.Close
	Else
		Print "Unable to connect"
	End If
Else
	Print "I'm client"
	Local conn:TSocket = CreateTCPSocket()
	conn.Connect(HostIp("localhost"), 12345)
	If conn
		While Not conn.ReadAvail()
		Wend
		Print CreateSocketStream(conn).ReadLine()
	Else
		Print "Unable to connect"
	End If
End If

Edit: Example was lacking.
