Sorry, i got the topic somehow wrong in the other posts. Sorry for
being so noisy. I most should've posted the stuff more as a question
of mine than an answer :)
No problem. I guess Sungjin can do the same as you did -- browse the
code for NetServer -- and rewrite the code with the NetServer
architecture (which is a set of abstract classes that take care
themselves of the forking), while still starting from somewhere.
You have to subclass NetServer and NetSession. NetServer listens on a
socket and creates NetSessions; NetSession parses requests and passes
them back to NetServer. (Note that the request is an arbitrary object,
so you can pass in your case for example an association like
socket->data and do "request key nextPutAll: request value")
Then, you implement your server by overriding this methods:
- in the EchoServer, #newSession (answering "EchoSession new" in your
case) and #respondTo: (which takes the request association and answers
as I outlined above)
- in the EchoSession, #next (which might be as easy as "self
socket->self socket nextHunk")
Note that examples and documentation are what is badly needed. Sending
them will never hurt.
