[erlang-questions] inet setoptions after receive data

[Radoslaw Gruchalski]

What's the reason for changing the option in the first place? Why not to stick to {packet,0}?

Hi, 
I have looked before I post the question and is not clear why this will happen.
Maybe is not possible to switch from {packet,0} to {packet,4} after receiving data on a socket!
Best

                    Hi Erlangers,
I am doing a server to serve a flash application. When a flash client establish a connection(tcp socket) it sends a policy request (xml format message) and the server must reply with a policy file (xml file). After this exchange the client can connect to the socket as a regular connection.

When I accept the connection the socket have a {packet,0} option set and checks if is a policy request and sends the policy file back. After this I change the option to {packet,4} but I do not receive anymore data. If I stay with {packet,0} I will receive the binary data sent by the client

Any one knows about any problem with changing socket options after receive some data?
thanks
