Hello all,
A friend and I recently attempted to write a simple bidirectional
networking (eg. chat) application in D 2.0. We ran into some trouble,
and as this was the first time we had dealt with sockets we struggled
with it quite a bit. We then tried very similar code in Java (in case of
an error in the D2 libraries, possibly), we didn't have much trouble at
all getting it up and running.
The problems we encountered in D2, as best as I can remember them, were
(a) enabling blocking on sockets did not seem to work, and (b) sending
packets back from client to server caused the server to receive either
nothing or an empty packet (I don't remember).
So here is my request: Could someone with some experience in sockets
more-or-less-translate the following C code into a very simple D2
example with similar functionality? (As I said, it might turn out to be
a library problem, though I couldn't find any messages or bug reports
about it.)
Thanks in advance.
