wmii returns more bytes than the client asked for (responding to /event Tread) #257

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. open /event
2. try to read a small buffer's worth (eg 16 bytes)
3. wait for an event that generates more than 16 bytes
4. watch as wmii returns more than 16 bytes to the client

 Obviously it's not a big issue, the only reason I was using such a small read buffer was to test my code on the buffer boundary - it's unlikely to happen in practice.

 Just felt this type of protocol violation is worth documenting, in case it isn't limited to just /event type files.
