Cocoa asyncsocket class problem

Question

Hey I am making server client system with asyncsocket class for cocoa, I really don't get it, do I have to send a message to the server in order to receive something, it seems so. Server should send me a message when I connect, but I won't get anything unless I send the server a message which goes pretty strange, same applies, I have to send another message to get a message?

Here is server code, as you see it should send a message when someone connects, which it doesn't do unless I send it a message from client. See code for server

Here is code for client where I send two messages to receive messages from the server. See client code here: http:://pastebin.com/1B7qy9R2 remove other : from link as it's my first post so no 2 link allowed :(

I either have understood the asyncsocket wrongly or there is a bug, but if someone would help it would be appericiated.

You don’t have to send data before you can receive some. This happens in your code, because you are only calling readDataWithTimeout:tag: in your onSocket:didWriteDataWithTag: delegate method.
