Hi Venkat,

How about posting the code that's giving you trouble, as there is no limit
to how much data you can transfer. Assuming you're just using plain old
sockets, you need to keep calling the socket's recv() method until you
have all the data. Also, check the return value from the server's call to
send(), because it will tell you how many bytes were sent (it doesn't
necessarily send the entire string).
