[Mono-devel-list] reading stream bug..

[Sébastien Pouliot]

Subba Rao,

A quick patch to your problem would be to change the line
					while((len = CryptStream.Read(Buffer,0,1023)) != 0)
into
					while((len = CryptStream.Read(Buffer,0,1024)) != 0)

because (a) your buffer is 1024 bytes and (b) more important it's a multiple
of the block size.
This will work with both MS.NET and Mono (Linux and Windows).

The bug is probably due to the fact that CryptoStream don't return the good
value - which mix up the calculations.

framework 1.4 ? are you sending this from the future ? ;-)

If you find anything else please report it into bugzilla
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Mono%2FClass%20Libraries
so the issue is not lost (e.g. during xmas vacations). It's also easier (for
the reporter) to be notified when the issue is fixed.

BTW the image is beautiful but a little big to send to a mailing list.

problem is that, when reading from the crypt stream to the buffer it reads
> as 1023-1008 while in windows its consistatnt 1023
this is in relative to the IV, it gets padded..
can you please tell me how to solve this problem by reading correctly from
the buffer..??
