For now, when sending \000\003\000\000 and only this, the server seems to disconnect. The recv() call on the socket returns 0, which should mean that the server has dropped the connection. > I'm not sure what the above could > be, unless maybe you're somehow triggering an SSL startup handshake --- For now, I simply have a INET socket. Just sending \000\003\000\000. No SSL handshake. > but the first returned byte should be an 'S' in that case.

What I identified was 'cannot read and server disconnects client'. When I send \000\000\000\008\004\210\022/ (which is what the psql sent me when I looked it up), I get a "N", and it waits for further data (i.e. not disconnected yet...). Then I get disconnected after some timeout, I guess. > It might also be enlightening to look into the server's log, especially > if you were to crank log_min_messages way up so it logs debug stuff.
