I'm half way, though there is more material than what is on the pharo collabor-active book. It's a pitty, that pharo by example and the collaborative book aren't linked. Any way, I'll be happy ot send what I have written to anyone who request it. Noury On 29 août 2010, at 23:05, Sean P. DeNigris wrote:
The description of sockets at http://book.pharo-project.org/book/networking/Socket/ is:
Socket is one of the main networking classes. You can create a new TCP socket with the message #newTCP.
This example creates a TCP socket and puts it into listening mode. After a client has connected, it reads data from the socket.
| server client | server := Socket newTCP. server listenOn: 12345 backlogSize: 4. server waitForConnectionFor: 600. client := server accept. client receiveData
Huh?! It looks like half the code in this snippet belongs on the server, and the other half on the client. I tried: Server doit: server := Socket newTCP. server listenOn: 12345 backlogSize: 4. server waitForConnectionFor: 600. Client doit: server := Socket newTCP. server listenOn: 12345 backlogSize: 4. server waitForConnectionFor: 600. client := server accept. client receiveData. but the server just hung forever.
After flopping around for a while, and checking the swiki, it seemed to be listenOn:backlogSize: that was the problem. Everything went well with: Server DoIt: server := Socket newTCP. server listenOn: 8080. server waitForConnectionFor: 600. server sendData: 'Hello from the server' Client PrintIt: client := Socket newTCP. client connectTo: (NetNameResolver localHostAddress) port: 8080. client receiveData.
Anyway, I'd like to have this be clearer, but my knowledge is very basic. Also, the class comment for socket reads "...Sockets are the lowest level of networking object in Squeak and are not normally used directly..." so is this where we want to direct people first?
