1 msg 2 msg 3...lost

I'm using a non-blocking TCP/IP server. I can send up to two messages just fine. But when I fire off 3 messages to the same destination one right after the other, the third message is lost but Winsock doesn't report any errors. The three messages total 94 bytes. If I put in a 100msec delay between messages all the messages arrive fine. Unless on the client side the last two messages are being combined in the recieve buffer as one message, but that shouldn't happen. -edit- Unfortunatly it is. When messages are sent too fast they're combined into one. The client just needs to recognize when a message actually contains two or more messages. Fortunatly all messages come with a length value so figuring out which need to be broken up is easy.

this reminds of another obnoxious poster like KalvinB, who
posted a question and then saying something like "don''t
post if you''re not answering my question!".

KalvinB, you suck. you don''t "own" anything. this is a public
forum. if you don''t like it, go run your own message board.

everybody please ignore KalvinB from now on.
