[syslog-ng] RFC5424 sending - dest=unix-stream. Framing?

[Scheidler, Balázs]

If the new lines at the end are ok, and the messages dont contain newlines
themselves, you should be fine. If both destination and source is
unix-STREAM(). Don't you hapoen to use unix-dgram() somewhere? That would
take the datagram fragments as individual messages.

Can you show me the framing errors you mention?

I have syslog-ng pumping data into a unix-stream destination

Data going into this domain socket has lots of adventures, and then emerges
as a source unix-stream on another host.
Both have flags(syslog-protocol), but the data gets framing errors at the
receiver.

I think it's become a bytestream (instead of a message stream) enroute, and
the recv() is relying on only getting one message at a time, because it
can't know the message length any other way, as unix-stream gets messages
without framing(?).

Is there a way to salvage this? (I noticed TLS might add framing, but since
the tunnel is already TLS ...)
