network/socket/tcp read/write class ?

[gcmartijnParticipant]

I’m searching for the most easy socket class for localhost debugging only at the moment.

So one window has
socket.connect(‘127.0.0.1’) (localhost)
if newdata then
data.read()
end

and the other window ‘server’ has
createconnection()
data.send(“bla”)

Target os at the moment just OSX

can’t find a easy way at the moment.

This code is in development and no windows support yet but may be of use:

ipv6 socket support for mx1 has just reared it’s ugly head again, so I think I’ll get stuck into this right now!

Will check if I can use it, thanks

Just commited the ‘official’ std.socket.Socket and std.socket.SockerServer classes.

Very similar to Si’s work except:

• Only Read( ptr,count) and Write( ptr,count ) IO supported for now. Socket extends Stream so the intent is to add ReadString/WriteString etc to Stream.
•  If called from a fiber, socket ops including connect, listen, accept, close, read and write are performed on a thread while the fiber suspends itself, ie: they wont lockup the gui. Lots of room for improvement in the implementation here (and there are vsync issues), but it makes client/server stuff about 10000 easier to write than in mx1 (see new echoserver banana).
• Only ‘stream’ sockets for now. Connection oriented datagrams should be very easy to add, connection-less will require more work, but are these even used any more? I think something WebSocket-ish (ie: a message/reply based protocol) should be next up!
• Should be completely ipv6 friendly.

Basically, it’s a WIP first attempt. The ‘new’ ipv6 friendly way to do sockets is much nicer to work with though.

@Mark

I wait till there is a little info about it in module docs

 

Edit:

Well the banana did give all the things I need yet, so no docs needed at the moment
