Encrypted Data over Sockets

[Bob Sneidar]

Hi all. 

Thanks for putting up with me. I finally got it all to work using base64Encode/Decode on the encrypted string before sending it with a delimiter appended. Same thing coming back. 

Thank for all your patience. I almost became a patient myself.

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.

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