I am sending multiple commands in a byte array format and receive responses based on the commands that were sent in a typical client/server communication. My Java app is the client running on Windows 7 and I know what commands to send and what I am expected to receive in the response. However, I do not have any control or have any knowledge of the server source code.
The problem I am having is that on the second command I sent or any commands after that, the first byte of the array is being dropped. When I send the first command, I get the proper response since the first byte is not dropped. When sending the next command or any commands after that, the first byte is dropped which the server does not respond since the command is not in the proper format for the server to recognize.
I am sending these commands over a Java SSLSocket DataOutputStream and of course I am receiving the responses on a DataInputStream. I first perform a handshake with the server and proceed on after the handshake is successful. At this point is when I send the first command and receive the response shown here in hex.:
Sending: 01 03 03
Receive: 01 0e fd 85 02 09 01 01 04 01 06
The next command being sent:
Sending: 01 48 65 6c 6c 6f
But this is where I do not receive a response from the server.
When printing out the javax.net.debug output, I can see that the first byte '01' does drop or went missing somehow.

The questions I have are:
- Am I missing a step in writing out the byte array? I have done this over a standard Java Socket with no issues, so is writing over a SSL Socket different from a standard Socket? I looked for this but did not see anything different.
- Could this be a certificate issue? If the handshake and the first command are successful, would this mean that the communication has been established at this point and it is beyond the certificate?
- Could the server be affecting this? If so, what could be the reason behind this? If writing the byte array to the DataOutputStream is on the client side and the first byte is dropped, how could the server have any affect on the client side?
- Could this be a JVM bug?
