Answer 1

You're missing the event hasSpaceAvailable, which I expect is occurring when it says "unknown". It's telling you that it is ready to receive more data.

Generally, I avoid using default in switch statements for enums, since the compiler will tell you when you've missed something.

Answer 2

I am using the code written by hoedding, and noticed a mistake. The line:

var output = NSString(bytes: &buffer, length: buffer.count, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)

should be replaced by:

var output = NSString(bytes: &buffer, length: len, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)

You have to get in the output var only the number of characters returned by the server, and not the full length of the buffer, or you will get garbage from previous requests.
