What type of argument does send() expect?

An integer representing the data length

A developer is writing a client that sends a request and then reads the response. The server may send the response in multiple chunks. Which code correctly reads the entire response until the connection is closed?

data = b'' while True: chunk = s.recv(4096) if not chunk: break data += chunk

A script sends an HTTP request to a server and then calls recv(4096) once. The response is larger than 4096 bytes, so only part of it is received. What is the correct way to ensure the entire response is read?

Call send() again to request the rest of the data.

Call recv() with no arguments to receive all remaining data.

Loop calling recv(4096) until it returns an empty bytes object, accumulating the data.

Increase the buffer size to 65536 and call recv() once.

A developer is writing a client that must connect to a server using a specific network interface. Which socket option should be set to bind the socket to a specific local address?

s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
