Re: Even more puzzled than before

Just one hint from me: Don't trust the terminal output!

Allways redirect your output to a file and look at it via hexdump -C whether the encoding is a you expect it.

In your case I'm pretty sure some errors are adding which let you assume something which is not true. Your very first example works on my machine as expected and not as shown by you.

Thanks, I guess another layer was indeed messing my results. I've retried the test using the protocol you suggested (redirecting the output to a file, THEN examine the file), and I succeeded.	[reply]
