Issue ESP32 as TCP client sending undesirable messages to TCP server

Postby mreyesp » Mon Nov 27, 2017 8:05 pm

Hi there,

i am trying to establish a TCP connection between a pc as server and the esp32 as client (bidirectional messaging).I can establish a TCP connection, the issue appears at the moment of send a message from the ESP32 to the server, the server receives the proper message but then arrives a lot of undesirable data (seems to be just null characters).
I was thinking that maybe this problem is related to the output buffer, but i could not solve the problem jet.
I let you the code of the client and server and also the resulting problem.

The desired behaviour on the TCP server side is this:
192.168.2.104
[*] Started listening on 192.168.2.104 : 1234
Received connection: 192.168.2.112
[*] Started listening on 192.168.2.104 : 1234
[*] Received ' b'Hello server' 192.168.2.112 ' from the client
Processing done.
[*] Reply sent

But then start to print a lot of this lines over and over again:
[*] Received ' b'' 192.168.2.112 ' from the client
Processing done Invalid data.
[*] Reply sent

NOTE: The server was programed in python and was already tested against other PC's.

Can you help me to figure out what is going wrong? Thanks :)
