Hello,
        I have to write  single Long to a server written in java. The server
passes the input as

        in.readLong() // it expects to receive 8 bytes

        In Python, i can do it by sending struct.pack( "!q", value)

        However, I have tried this
        writeBin(length(x),con=conn,endian="big") #conn opened in binary

        But the response on the server side is wrong, eg. 1 is received as
4294967297

        How do I then write  long across the network from R?

Tell writeBin() the 'size' you want: see its help page.



        Thank you
