Hi Volker,

Thanks for let me know. actually, there are no security 
concerns in my program. What do you means with 'unportable?' 
do you means CPU bit type? like integer size?, i want to 
learn socket programming, so i must understand it from scratch, 
not simply by using a library wrapper.

Hi Ardhan,


you're going to write an enterly unportable and insecure program. If you 
want just send a structure from one host to another look for a library 
which does the packing and unpacking over the network for you.

For example json-c [1] or csoap [2]

[2] http://sourceforge.net/projects/csoap/
