Question

TCP/IP UDP client server sample

Asked by: lichaa

I'm looking for a sample application writtenin pB8 or below that can send a message to a server app also written in pb8 and receive a message back (like a chat server) using TCP/IP and/or UDP protocol.  If it uses third party tool like socekt wrench that's ok as long as it's free.  I would like the code to be simple and not use complicated winsock api calls.

That code uses dbserver, I want to write my own server that just opens a tcp/ip socekt and listens until a request comes through

Are you talking about this one below?  It uses server push and shared objects.  You can email it to me and I'll see if I can use it but I'm really looking for somthing that does not use shared objects or server push.

stevenl@imsi.com

If anyone else has a basic client and server pb app that just listens to a socket please let me know, Other wise I'll probably just close this issue and split the points soon

These two applications let users exchange information in a public chat room. The client application connects to the server and whenever the user submits some text, it is distributed to all users. The server also notifies users when a new user has logged in or detached.
The application demonstrates 2 major new features in DPB6 - server push and shared objects. In addition, the server app shows a nice feature of Win95 and NT 4.0 - running a window as a system tray icon. In order to restore the window, double-click on the server's system tray icon. When you minimize the window, it is removed from the task bar. Download chat.zip - 801KB
