    Problem Sending Data with SocketServer.ThreadingTCPServer

    I'm having a problem sending data from a socket server. The server
    side reports that it has sent 4845 bytes but the client reports only
    1448 bytes received. The kicker is that this ONLY happens accross the
    internet... I've tested this with multiple connections. If I run the
    same server and client, connect them locally I don't have a problem
    with byte totals. Is there a timeout that I need to set... I've
    looked at and change several SOL_SOCKET parameters (i.e. SO_SNDBUF,
    etc) but this hasn't fixed my problem... This is the last thing I need
    to fix on this and any help would be greatly appreciated...

      Example code?

      You don't give quite enough info for one to how familiar you are with
      socket programming. Are you aware, for example, that you have to read
      repeatedly from the socket, not just call .recv() once? (That's a common
      rookie mistake.)

      What code is generating these reports about bytes sent and received?
      Why do you trust the numbers? Just because a high level call with 4845
      bytes went down into the .send routine and returned doesn't mean that
      many bytes actually went out the port.

      Have you reduced this down to the smallest program you can make which
      demonstrates the problem? Often the problem will go away at some
      point as you do that, and then you can quickly home in on the change
      which was involved.

          How about posting some code if you can... Are you sure that the client has
          received all the data that is available? It may take several recv (or read)
          calls - just because your first receive obtained 1448 bytes doesn't mean that
          there's nothing more on the way.
