Re: [Flightgear-devel] read not excepting more than one client
@[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Swearing), Do you know of any websites that I can read the will improve my understaning of sockets? At my current level of understanding I am having trouble making sense of the pegasus network library and how it is being used in httpd.cxx and props.cxx due to the little documentation on the plib website. Can someone explain why SGSocket restricts the number of clients to one? Would it not make more sense to allow up to some maximum number of clients?

You might be better served by using plib.net. This is what FlightGear uses for the http and prop servers. See src/Network/httpd.cxx and src/Network/props.cxx for examples.

Seamus Here's a good place to start if you want to know how *nix sockets work. http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/802-5886/6i9k5sgsk?a=view All the other libraries you see are just wrappers around the basic socket routines. I'm not sure what the pegasus network library supports but if you want to allow multiple connections on vanilla *nix sockets you can use one of the following approaches : - select (easy approach) - multithreading (dangerous/tricky approach - mutexes, semaphores, race conditions, deadlock conditions ...)

[Flightgear-devel] read not excepting more than one client
Hi, I have created a server which has one SGSocket object listening for clients that want to connect. The problem I am having is when a second client sends its connect info to the server the server never gets the message. Note that the server is listening using readline and that the connection is tcp. I have tried two different clients and they both work if they are the first one to connect. Are there any restrictions on a SG_IO_IN socket that I should be aware of? Any other suggestions? This problem could be with my code but I want to ask the question before I spend a lot of time on looking for the problem.
