Hi Stephen,
>I'm not sure what you mean by this exactly, but I assume you're
I am writing an update utility which will get a file using a custom protocol
from a custom server - what I want to do is send the request, and have my
single-task program do some other things.
Inbetween the utility doing other things it'll call recv() now & again to
pick up any data waiting at the socket.
I was wondering whether data is actually physically transferred from the
network to my machine during "the other things", in which case it'd already
be there for when I call recv(). Or, if data is moved from the network only
during the recv() call.
I hope this makes sense!
Thanks, Andrew
