Encrypted Data over Sockets

[Bob Sneidar]

It looks after the agent receives it generally like how it looked after I encoded the array but before I sent it. Obviously it's not the same. Something is corrupting it over the wire. I am not even using encryption now, just sending the encoded array data and a delimiter. When it decodes on the other end now, arrayDecode fails. 

I guess the question I *should* be asking is, how do I encode binary data to be sent over the wire so that it doesn't become corrupted?

They is just something wrong with the data. Curiously, if I just send and receive plain text it works every time.
