The socket_read(socket, length) takes the two parameters. But what I am concerned about it, I do not actually know the 'length' of what is being sent. How do I protect myself from that? Right now I just use a value of 'length' that with margin is larger then the size I will receive. Is it possible to get the size of what is ready to be read from the socket?
