[Tjukebox-general] Socket programming

[Kevin N. <bea...@ya...>]

I need some help with the tjukebox socket programming.
 Here's a little bit of what's not good with the way
things are now.

Currently the socket class has an overloaded << and >>
operator.  The client creates a socket to the server
and can send data.  The server can send data back, but
can only use the << operator once.  It seems like
after this the socket get closed.  This means the
client has to keep sending requests for data to keep
the socket open.  The message size to the client is
limited too, so I can't send all the data at once.

I try to get past the message size by doing this:
Client : Send me album 1
Server : here it is!
Client : Send me album 2
...

Sometimes there are some albums with too many tracks
and the full list doesn't get sent because of the size
limit.  At this point the program exits.

When the client and server are running on the same
computer there is no limit to message size.

I know you told me once that you have a decent socket
class from one of your classes.  Could you send them
to me?  I'll try them out and hopefully they'll work
better.

Kevin
