Answer 1

I replaced the else with the below and it works

 } else {
/*                  int messageLength = 5;
                    char message[messageLength+1];
                    int in, index = 0, limit = messageLength+1;

                    memset ( &message[index] , 0, sizeof ( message [index] ) );

                    while ((in = recv(i, &message[index], limit, 0)) > 0) {
                        index += in;
                        limit -= in;
                    }

                    printf("%d\n", index);
                    printf("%s\n", message);
*/
                    bzero(buf, sizeof(buf));
                    if ((rval = read(i, buf, 1024)) < 0)
                        perror("reading stream message");
                    else if (rval == 0)
                        printf("Ending connection\n");
                    else
                        printf("-->%s\n", buf);

                }
