WebSocket API - "NUL" in the response for the rate request

Hi Team,

I am getting "null" in the response message.

It only happened at the initial stage of the WebSocket API communication (only once).

I am requesting the RIC code in batches and I have total 500+ RIC codes and I am calling them in 200 batches.

Could you please help me to figure out what is root cause of the issue.

Let me know if you need more detail here.

Below is the error message (blank space in the below message is having the NUL character):

Could you please share the code that reads data into the byte count[40960]?

From the output, the size of the JSON message is less than 40960. I assume that it could be garbage characters in the count variable.

Hi @jirapongse.phuriphanvichai

Yes, agree that there are some garbage characters in the message (The same can we observed in the image attached in the initial message)

I am using Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(jsonMsg) to get the count.

Thanks

Please try to use result.Result.Count instead of readBuffer.Count when calling the memoryStream.Write method.

Does it help?

I am still unable to replicate the issue. However, I have tested the JSON string posted in the question and found that the message is invalid. The value of BID fields of CADTN= contains a space.

I am not sure that it is copy/paste problem or the string really contains a space in the BID's value.

I assume that the application has logged this invalid message. Please save the invalid JSON string in the text file and then attach it in the answer.

Error detail.txt@jirapongse.phuriphanvichai

Yes, it has empty space BID's value.

Here is the log file attached.

If you open the log file in Notepad++, you can clearly see the invalid character.

Let me know if you need more detail.
