Hi, trying to make a parser for a binary protocol: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-hybi-thewebsocketprotocol-10#section-4.2
I get the following case: Byte number 2 in the protocol message is as follows: - bit 0: FIN bit - bits 1-7: Payload length (means 2^N bytes). I receive the data from the network. The data is read from a Ruby server and then passed to a C parser built with Ragel. So within Ragel code (actions) I must check if bit 0 (FIN) is 1 or 0. The Ragel grammar alphabetic is "char", so I can check whether such char is > some value (which means that first bit is 0 or 1, so I get FIN bit value). The question is: how can I know if I'm cheking the byte in big-endian or in litte-endian? Probably this question makes no sense at all since data was already received by the Ruby server, so it has been converted to host byte order, so I must not care about it, am I right? Thanks a lot. -- Iñaki Baz Castillo <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ ragel-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.complang.org/mailman/listinfo/ragel-users
