There appears to be a space at the start of the packet (between 0030 and 000e), which would confuse the protocol. Otherwise, that appears to be a valid response from receive-pack assuming the client asked for side-band-64k in the request, and it pushed only refs/heads/master. > Question #1, Is the result supposed to be something below instead? > > 000eunpack ok > 0019ok refs/heads/master > 0000 Depends on whether or not the client asked for side-band-64k. If it did, we wrap it up in a another pkt-line framing like above, and end with another flush-pkt. If the client didn't ask for side-band-64k, then the above would be the correct response. > Question #2, msysGit cannot parse the result, it displays error message: > > fatal: protocol error: bad line length character: > 003 > fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly This is weird. "003" isn't valid, its not 4 bytes long. What was that trailing final 4th byte right there? If its a space like it is above (though then its really in the wrong spot, isn't it?) that would throw it all off. It sounds to me like your wrapper is mangling the data that is passing through it on the way back to the client. -- Shawn. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
