Need some clarification on XmlSocket.onData
Hi, I need some clarification about what's happening behind the scenes with the XmlSocket on AMS. The documentation is inconsistent with the behavior I'm seeing. Specifically the documentation states:
XmlSocket.onData(src)
Invoked when a message has been downloaded from the server, terminated by a zero (0) byte. You can override XMLSocket.onData() to intercept the data sent by the server without parsing it as XML. This is useful if you’re transmitting arbitrarily formatted data packets and you would prefer to manipulate the data directly when it arrives, rather than have Flash Media Interactive Server parse the data as XML.
If I send a string across the connection like "Hello there!", my onData handler never gets called. I did make sure the stream was terminated with a zero byte. I also just tried sending a message with 0 length buffer and, new lines and carriage return values as well to the ends of my strings all to no avail.
However, when I send a message like "<a>Hello there!</a>", my onData handler does get called. This leads me to believe that there is actually processing for the XML happening before onData is handled. The reason I'm asking, is that we are suffering seg faults while processing XML data, and are trying to get a lock on where/why.
I'm using AMS - 5.0.3 r3029 x64
