Hi i created a socket to connect to an irc server. i send user and nickname messages and to read the data using gets but to be able to read them a buffer flush is needed for every message, if not it remains in blocking mode, waiting to be read and it never happens. I have looked up information about this issue and still can't fix this problem...
the only thing I can think is that the command get only reads text from the buffer but leaves the character controls of the end of the line (bottom line) in there, and that's why it goes into blocking mode. I may be wrong but still, I don't know why if it reads the last message when the connection is (closed) when there are still messages coming in ( or in between)

i hope you understand my bad english

hello.

if the problem is actual now, can u say what language do you use to write the irc client and what operating system do you use to run it?
