[erlang-questions] gen_tcp two way comm

[Roberto Ostinelli]

Hi list,

this should be simple but I don't get what is going on.

On a server:

[...listening and connection...]
{ok, Data} = gen_tcp:recv(Socket, 0),
ok = gen_tcp:send(Socket,<<"some response">>).

Data received from client (see below) is correctly <<"some data">>.

On the client:

{ok, Socket} = gen_tcp:connect("localhost", 8500, [binary, {packet, raw}]),
ok = gen_tcp:send(Socket, <<"some data">>),
gen_tcp:recv(Socket,0).

Instead of {ok, <<"some response">>}, the last line returns {error,einval}.

Anywhere I should start looking?..

Thank you,

r.
