[zeromq-dev] ZMQ_STREAM identity problem

[Pieter Hintjens]

Sorry. You're right, the getsockopt retrieves the identity as a
client. When reading data, the first frame is an identity (ZMQ_STREAM
is a subclass of ZMQ_ROUTER).

Store the identity in a byte array of 255 bytes, and keep the length
as provided by getsockopt separately, then use that when you send it
back (you can simply use zmq_send, there's no reason to use zframe for
this).
