Hi,

I may have found a problem with chunked transmissions of requests. in PJB 6.1.2.1

Whenever the size of a request exceeds RECV_SIZE (8192) the request hangs and I
have to interrupt the program, which generates the following exception in the log file:

May 19 01:57:23 JavaBridge ERROR: An exception occured: java.lang.IllegalStateException: read chunked packet length

After a little bit of investigating ;-) I may have found the solution. With this patch it
works for me, but I'm not sure whether this is the case for all possible applications or
if it does have any side effects...

Is this a possible solution or am I completely wrong?

Hi Oliver,

yes, you're right.
Since version 5.1.2.1 the standalone back end might run into a dead
lock.

The chunked reader must not block if there's any data in the buffer
or if no data is requested.

Your patch is good, except for the corner case len = 0.
I will commit it asap.

Thank you very much!
