Sounds like objects encoded to strings and being sent down the wire
accidentally.
*shrug*
Must say that while I've dumped my use of CFSocket for a task-specific set
of classes which use the posix layer, I didn't see this during my usage of
it without me being able to also use the words "user error" in that
sentence.
In other words, sure, it might be a bug, but I ain't seen that. :)
For the most part, I've found that task-specific stuff that calls the posix
sockets stuff, or using SmallSockets, is more than enough; if you're going
with something that needs lots of network handling code, going with the
posix stuff means that you've got every ounce of documentation you could
ever wish for, miles of sample code, and an enormous set of cross-platform
knowledge to tap.
Then again, I'm a posix kinda guy.
