This is the code where the socket has been created and recieved data is stored in a text file
// Initialize Winsock.
cout << "connecting1\n";
WSADATA wsadata;
int iResult = WSAStartup (MAKEWORD(2,2), &wsadata );
if (iResult !=NO_ERROR )
printf("\nmyERROR at WSAStartup()\n");
int sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if (sock == -1) {
perror("error opening socket"); return -1;
}
struct sockaddr_in sin;
sin.sin_port = htons(port);
sin.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(host.c_str());
sin.sin_family = AF_INET;
if (connect(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&sin, sizeof(sin)) == -1) {
perror("error connecting to host"); return -1;
}
const int query_len = query.length() + 1; // trailing '\0'
if (send(sock, query.c_str(), query_len, 0) != query_len) {
perror("error sending query"); return -1;
}
const int buf_size = 1024 * 1024;
while (true) {
std::vector<char> buf(buf_size, '\0');
const int recv_len = recv(sock, &buf[0], buf_size - 1, 0);
if (recv_len == -1) {
perror("error receiving response"); return -1;
} else if (recv_len == 0) {
std::cout << std::endl; break;
} else {
std::cout << &buf[0];
fprintf(fp, "%s", &buf[0]); // this lines writes to file
}
}
here the data is returned mostly in proper format, but in some cases this happens :
{
"type": "node",
"id":
1000 // this 1000 is un-wanted
1812432236,
"lat": 20.2608987,
"lon": 85.8379894
},
so my program fails to parse this node properly. While writing the query in url, the data is displayed in proper format. Also the garbage value gets inserted in the same place every time I run the program. Why could this be happening ?
