We told you this. There are no TCP packets, there is only a TCP stream.
If it's hard to parse, it's because you made it so. If you send
"name=value" pairs, each terminated by a CRLF, you can buffer the
stream as you receive it, checking each time you receive anything if
there is a CRLF in your buffer, and if there is you know you have a
complete name-value pair at the front of the buffer. Repeat until
bored.
How do you know the response for a single UPDATE command is finished?
Perhaps you need an empty line at the end.
