Re: Transmitting strings via tcp from a windows c++ client to a Java server

Thanks for not ignoring me ;-)


That algorithm will not give you the size in bytes of a UTF-8 encoded string

You're right, of course.

[easiest way to calc utf-8 buffer len ] is just to let the platform
do the encoding and then transmit the length of the resulting byte array

That is what we'll probably do, in the end.

make very sure [doc] is /very/ clear about the meaning of the size field

Agree - very important to clearly state 'type of length' .


As a side note: you've mentioned zlib in a prior post. We do plan to
compress parts to the network-transferred data. We plan, however on
using
an open source lib called LZMA ( http://www.7-zip.org),
which achieves impressive compression ratios at a reasonable CPU cost
(see: http://tukaani.org/lzma/ ).
Do you feel we've missed any important considerations here?


Thanks again,

Gilad
