[xSocket-develop] MaxReadSizeExceededException not thrown

[Mike C. <xs...@li...>]

I have a class defined as follows:

public class MyHandler implements IDataHandler, IConnectHandler {
	
in the onConnect method, I call the following on the
INonBlockingConnection (nbc)

nbc.setMaxReadBufferThreshold(10);

In the onData method, I do this:

try {
   String line = nbc.readStringByDelimiter("\n");
} catch( MaxReadSizeExceededException e ){
   nbc.close();
}

I assumed that the read operation would throw a
MaxReadSizeExceededException if I sent more than 10 bytes down the
channel without a linefeed? What actually happens is that the onData
method stops being called when I hit 10 characters. There is no
exception thrown during the read. Have I misunderstood the purpose of
MaxReadSizeExceededException or have I stumbled across a bug?

I am trying to code for a protocol where the de-limiter is "\n" and
there is a fixed maximum line length. I basically want a to prevent a
malicious application from sending a large quantity of data down the
channel without any linefeeds purely to use up memory...

P.S. Thank you for answering my previous question regarding the LGPL Gregor.
