I have stream_socket

...following information incoming to the buffer:

a,b,c,\r,\n,z            which means -> 6 bytes

i am reading as from Microsoft example:

  // Receive until the peer closes the connection
   do {

       iResult = recv(ConnectSocket, recvbuf, recvbuflen, 0);
       if ( iResult > 0 )
           printf("Bytes received: %d\n", iResult);
       else if ( iResult == 0 )
           printf("Connection closed\n");
       else
           printf("recv failed: %d\n", WSAGetLastError());

   } while( iResult > 0 );

I set recvbuflen = 2 ( so i am reading in 2 bytes sets)

On Win 2003 and beyond (including 2008)

i will always get iResult = 2  

resulting in \n,z (2) read

Whereas win 2000 will give me  iResult = 1

reading only \n - in the last cycle, not reading "z"

I do not have MSG_OOB set - i do not intend to (it is 0 - zero)

Any comments please....
