Oliver, Ok, we are both right. But if he only needs to transmit some data between a host and palm, he doesn't need to have any of the functions of a web server. That is what I was getting at. Just a simple program that opens a socket, listens and then accepts a client call. Then proprietary transfer of data, and close the socket (and wait for the next connection).
This code in VB or whatever you like is less than 15 lines and the structure defs and dll defs are pretty short. I wrote the basis of our "server" software in about 2 hours. Of course, I've spent many more hours connecting the data and creating a reasonable user interface. But the socket work was simple. I came in this thread when Fawaz started this new thread. I probably should look at the original thread to understand what he is doing. If it's corp. software when they have IT personnel who can do this, then your idea is probably a good one. If it is Joe Smoe on the street, who bought his palm at best buy, then I think my approach is a good one. Thanks for the fun in this discussion. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary Gorsline Easy Business Software ========================== End of Message ========================== -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
