I want to connect two applications (1 by image, each one on a different computer) so as as to exchange information (data) between them.
So my question is about the best (smalltalk) practices to connect two app/image and exchange data.
I imagine either with a direct connection through a network (TCP Socket, Web socket, pure HTTP with Zinc) and/or with a serial connection.
At first, without any �� security ��. But later, information exchanges will be encrypted.
I���ve seen some information on how to use SerialPort, or even FileStream.
I could do it (or at least simulate it with HTTP). What are the other options ? Socket ?
Do we have P2P libs (I couldn���t find) with eventually discovery features ?
Any comment / suggestion / pointers are greatly welcome.
TIA.
