I am trying to send zipped bytes to another server and then have that server receive them and write out the zipped filed. When I do the zipping and writing on the same server it works great. The local version looks something like this:
ZipOutputStream zout = new ZipOutputStream(FileOutputStream);
zout.write(byteBuffer, 0, len);
zout.flush()
FileOutputStream.flush();
zout.close();
The cross server implementation creates a bad output though. The sending code is: (magic string tells the server it has received all of the data.
ZipOutputStream zout = new ZipOutputStream(out);
ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(fileName);
zout.putNextEntry(entry);
System.out.println("sending zipped bytes...");
zout.write(inputBuffer, contentBegin, len);
zout.flush();
zout.closeEntry();
out.flush();
byte[] magicStringData = "--------MagicStringCSE283Miami".getBytes("US-ASCII");
out.write(magicStringData, 0, magicStringData.length);
out.flush();
System.out.println("Done writing file and sending zipped bytes.");
Thread.sleep(10000);
zout.close();
clntSock.close(); // Close the socket. We are done with this client!
The receiving code looks like this:
System.out.println("receiving zipped bytes...");
byte[] inputBuffer = new byte[BUF_SIZE];
int total2 = 0, count = 0;
while(count != -1) { // read from origin's buffer into byteBuffer until origin is out of data
count = inFromCompression.read(inputBuffer, total2, BUF_SIZE - total - 1);
String msg = new String(inputBuffer, total2, count, "US-ASCII");
total2 += count;
if(msg.contains("-------MagicString")){
System.out.println("full message received...");
break;
}
}
String inputString = new String(inputBuffer, 0, total2, "US-ASCII");
int contentEnd = inputString.indexOf("--------MagicString");
FileOutputStream fout2 = new FileOutputStream(outputFileName + ".zip");
fout2.write(inputBuffer, 0, contentEnd);
fout2.flush();
fout2.close();
System.out.println("Done writing zipped bytes.");
//Thread.sleep(10000);
//socketToCompression.close();
Any ideas? I am thinking it might be something like I am not closing the ZipOutputStream before sending the magic string that signals the end of the data, but every time I call zout.close() immediately after flushing zout it closes the entire socket.
