Forums Scripts & Popups sockwrite limits

I've taken this to mean that you can only write 16384 bytes on a socket at any given time and in the past I've worked carefully to avoid an error from queueing more than the limit. However, I recently wrote a script that wrote more than this in one sockwrite command by accident, quite a bit more in some cases -- and without error.

Is this/was it the limit? Am I intepreting this wrong?

This limit, along with quite a few others that have been accidentally found, may have been increased when Khaled increased the buffer size (or whatever the proper term for it is) that now allows variables to hit roughly 4000 characters compared to the previous limit of roughly 900 characters.

What's the new limit?

No idea.. suggest you experiment, as the help file still shows the 16384 mark... and as I said, it may have been increased.

i'm really hesitant to do anything with it--testing or not.

think i'll leave it at 16384 until there's at least a documented change.

Just to make sure, did $sock().sq return a value higher than 16384 in those cases, too? Underlying mIRC's send queue is another send queue in winsock, so that some data you write might never end up in mIRC's send queue.

What the helpfile means, is that you can write to the socket until $sock().sq hits 16384. This might not be after writing 16384 bytes to the socket.
