I think your implementation of "RFC 862, the Echo Protocol" wouldn't work if the input doesn't end in a newline.


Also, if you send a large amount of data to the echo server, the server crashes. This is due to how data is read off the wire into a buffer. A suggestion is to use a fixed size buffer. I did test this earlier and I'm sorry that I crashed it.


Oops, I should have read the comments, I too crashed it testing this theory.


Also, pressing ^D causes the server to infinitely loop sending newline characters.
