XML through socket in python

Question

Good morning, I've a simple question. I need a socket that allow a client to send an XML to a server. I've tried to send a simple string b'simple string just for example' and everything works fine, but when I try to send an XML (as binary) the server isn't able to write that down. I'll paste my code

Client

import socket

socket = socket.socket()
socket.connect(("localhost", 54610))
file = open(r"c:\shared\68118.xml", "rb")
stream = file.read(65536)
while stream:
    socket.send(stream)
    stream = file.read(65536) # tried with 1024, 2048
socket.close()

Server

import socket

socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
server_address = ('', 54610)
socket.bind(server_address)
socket.listen(1)

while True:
    inbound_stream, address = socket.accept()

    print(address)
    counter = 1
    file = open(r'c:\shared\68118_' + str(counter) + '.xml', 'wb')  # binary
    counter += 1
    while(True):
        stream = inbound_stream.recv(65536)
        while stream:
            file.write(stream)
            stream = inbound_stream.recv(65536) # tried with 1024, 2048
        file.close()
        inbound_stream.close()

socket.close() # TODO NOT REACHABLE

the output file is 68118_1.xml 0Kb with nothing inside

What I'm doing wrong?

Thank you in advance

I've just remove the stream = file.read(65536) # tried with 1024, 2048 from the loop and everything worked fine

Probably because your file is less than 64kB. But that's not generic. Check stackoverflow.com/questions/30615187/….
