[Plib-users] netMessageChannel

[Leo H. <hw...@ec...>]

Hi, I'm trying to use the netMessageChannel class to make a simple
client/server program in which the client sends a netMessage to the
server, and have the server print out that message through its
handleMessage() member function.

One of the things I'm unsure of is what to do inside of handleAccept()?
Right now, i call accept(netAddress), but I don't particularly do anything
with the modified netAddress.

On the client side, I construct a netMessage, and send it out with the
sendMessage function.  Then I call the loop function (which I presume
sends the message).  However, on the server side, the handleAccept() is
called, but the handleMessage() is not, meaning the server never received
the message.  I believe it may be something to do with what I'm doing in
handleAccept(), but I have little experience with network programming.

If you can suggest anything from what you've read, or provide links to
example code[1], or even take a look at the code, it would be much
appreciated.

code is at: http://www.ecf.utoronto.ca/~hwangl/net/

[1] the NET section on the PLIB site has little documentation on how to
use the classes, and the http_get example from plib_examples helped only
with the client side.


thanks,
