Re^3: FIle transfer using sockets

You're right. I suggest something like this for client side:

print $sock "$file\0";
[download]

and something like this for server:

{
    local $/ = "\0";
    $file1 = <$conn>;
    chomp $file1;
}
[download]

"\n" isn't portable. And at least on *nix file name may contain "\n"

You might find Internet Line Terminators interesting. Not that what you recommend wouldn't work, but there might be some value in being consistent with many of the existing protocols.	[reply]
