Lazarus/FreePascal, Synapse send file to TCPBlockSocket - delphi

Question

I tried to make an analogue nc (netcat) tool.
Open file and send it in to TCP socket.
client (sender) side
procedure TForm1.SpeedButton3Click(Sender: TObject);
var Client:TTCPBlockSocket;
FS: TFileStream;
begin
Client:=TTCPBlockSocket.Create;
Client.RaiseExcept:=True;
Client.Connect('192.168.1.95','9999');
FS:=TFileStream.Create('/tmp/test_print.pdf',fmOpenRead);
FS.Position:=0;
Client.SendStream(FS);
FS.Free;
Client.CloseSocket;
Client.Free;
end;
server (reciever) side
nc -l 192.168.1.95 9999 > test.pdf
After run i get test.pdf but md5sum not valid
fe2e5d86acd267ca39a9c15c456e1be0 /tmp/test_print.pdf
34d755aa81d72f525a5e691e98bed283 test.pdf
size is differ too
-rw-rw---- 1 user1 DomainUsers 46444 Июн 8 17:11 /tmp/test_print.pdf
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 DomainUsers 46448 Июн 11 15:40 test.pdf
What i do wrong? Where is my mistake?
p.s. Excess 4 bytes at the beginning of test.pdf (6c,b5,00,00)

Answer 1

Well... Hex 00 00 B5 6C (your extra bytes in reverse) is equal to 46444. So my guess is that TFileStream or SendStream sends the number of bytes it wants to send before the actual data.
Looking at the code of Synapse there is the function:
procedure TBlockSocket.InternalSendStream(const Stream: TStream; WithSize, Indy: boolean);
And SendStream calls it like this:
InternalSendStream(Stream, true, false);
So the WithSize is true and the size of the stream is send before the actual data.
If you use SendStreamRaw all is send without the size in front of it.
procedure TForm1.SpeedButton3Click(Sender: TObject);
var Client:TTCPBlockSocket;
FS: TFileStream;
begin
Client:=TTCPBlockSocket.Create;
Client.RaiseExcept:=True;
Client.Connect('192.168.1.95','9999');
FS:=TFileStream.Create('/tmp/test_print.pdf',fmOpenRead);
FS.Position:=0;
Client.SendStreamRAW(FS);
FS.Free;
Client.CloseSocket;
Client.Free;
end;
