RE: [Dev-C++] Yet another winsock question

[Jaap de W. <wo...@Ne...>]

Sending individual bytes is possible (also in the way you mean), but I
shouldn't recommend it.
This because even for an individual byte over the TCP/IP connection a
complete packet is sent, which means for a individual byte you send the same
amount of bytes over the net, as for let say 1024 bytes (of cause depending
on your MTU settings). 
Because of this reason I don't think you can expect functions which do so.
If your application allows it, you better create a class (eg derived from
ostream) with a separate thread, which allows you to put one byte at a time
to the buffer, but sends the buffer when it is full.
If your interested, I can provide you sources, which do something like that.
