Windows buffer is empty?

[erfg12]

Debug says buffer is blank and nothing is getting sent to my server beyond a connection was successful message.

client_socket = network_create_socket(network_socket_tcp);

if (network_connect_raw(client_socket,"127.0.0.1",13000) >=0){
t_buffer = buffer_create(4, buffer_fixed, 1);
buffer_seek(t_buffer, buffer_seek_start, 0);
buffer_write(t_buffer, buffer_string, "hi");
var buff_content = buffer_read(t_buffer, buffer_string );
show_debug_message(buff_content);
network_send_raw(client_socket,t_buffer,buffer_tell(t_buffer));
}

//buffer_delete(t_buffer);

By least, your test code produces an empty string because you do not rewind the buffer before starting to read.

Other thing that's suspicious is that you create a fixed-sized buffer -- strings will usually simply not write if a buffer can't fit them.

@YellowAfterlife thank you for the reply. Placing the buff_seek after the write worked like you said. buffer_content is showing "hi" now.

But I'm not seeing any data come over to my server. My server is showing a connection, but placing a breakpoint on my read function shows nothing being sent over. Does the network_send_raw look correct?

client_socket = network_create_socket(network_socket_tcp);

var t_buffer = buffer_create(4, buffer_fixed, 1);
buffer_write(t_buffer, buffer_string, "hi");
buffer_seek(t_buffer, buffer_seek_start, 0);
var buff_content = buffer_read(t_buffer, buffer_string );
var buff_size = buffer_get_size(t_buffer);

if (network_connect_raw(client_socket,"127.0.0.1",13000) >=0){
show_debug_message("connected successfully");
}

if (network_send_raw(client_socket,t_buffer,buffer_tell(t_buffer)) >=0){
show_debug_message("msg sent successfully");
}

connected successfully
msg sent successfully

Nothing was received.

Nothing was received.

I'd suggest to check your server code and/or show it here - perhaps you aren't handling the async event correctly?
