Hi,
I'm using a TIdTcpServer and send with
tcpServer.IOHandler.Write(idByteBuffer);
I wouldn't expect ANY protocol to be implemented with this, am I wrong?
There are statements like the following in my application
AppendByte(buff, MessageType);
Now if MessageType would be 0xff i'd have to use an if-clause and
AppendBytes(buff, ToBytes(chr($FF)+chr($FF)));
for it to work like I need it.
Thanks for advice,
Michael
