Hi, I want to create a MUD <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUD> client (a client for games played over Telnet) with Pharo, but I'm stuck on how best to use Pharo as a Telnet client. I've heard of the cURL plugin, but I'm not sure if that can be (easily) used for anything other than file transfers. Even if I built and installed it, I'm not confident I'd be able to tell for certain whether I can use it in the way I want. I also found this <http://map.squeak.org/package/14bcecc6-dbb8-4866-bb0c-25278ca882ba>, but that's about eight years old and its homepage link is dead, so it doesn't look too promising. I found TelnetProtocolClient in the Pharo image, but that does not seem to be at all what I need. Can someone with experience with telnetting from within Pharo/Squeak point me in the right direction? Thanks, Aidan
Finding old ( and sometimes new ;-) ) Squeak code is a bit of an art. I find the Nabble search of all Smalltalk mailing lists (or you can restrict to sub groups/lists e.g. just Pharo) the best starting point (http://forum.world.st/). Searching on "telnet" produced a link to the code for the Telnet project you found (the thread is called "Net::Telnet equivalent"). Also, a google search on "squeak smalltalk telnet" produced the following additional leads: * Download some old images; "December 2004... Squeak has built in a very basic telnet client" http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/1523 * look at the Curl plugin; "adds an new repository type that uses the Curl Plugin... supports TELNET http://www.squeaksource.com/monticellossl" HTH, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Telnet-client-tp3171716p3172111.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
