Ethernetsends a String as one char at the time

I must do

String str = "Hello World";
int n = str.length()+1;
char st[n];
str.toCharArray(st,n);
client.print(st);

instead of

client.print(str)

to send s String in on one TCP/IP packet.

The problem is in Print.cpp:

void Print::print(const String &s)
{
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
write(s*);*
}
}
and then every write(char) is send in Client.cpp
as in one TCP/IP packet. That sinks the transfrer
rate a lot.
It might be idea to do a write(const String &) in Print and
then implement print(const String &) by calling that.
And then in Client one must override write(const String &)
by writing all chars to same packet.
One problem to implement that is that
void String::toCharArray(char *buf, unsigned int bufsize)
and
void String::getBytes(unsigned char *buf, unsigned int bufsize)
are not const methods as they should be.

well... I guess you're gonna have to read through 5100's manual and create a driver yourself. :\

From Ethernet library - Client.cpp

void Client::write(uint8_t b) {
  if (_sock != MAX_SOCK_NUM)
    send(_sock, &b, 1);
}

void Client::write(const char *str) {
  if (_sock != MAX_SOCK_NUM)
    send(_sock, (const uint8_t *)str, strlen(str));
}

void Client::write(const uint8_t *buf, size_t size) {
  if (_sock != MAX_SOCK_NUM)
    send(_sock, buf, size);
}

Should be easy ... Try replacing Client.print(str) with Client.write(str), Add a '\n' to the string if using println...

Does this help?
