Re: [twsocket] Triggering DataAvailable
I have very simillar situation, my clients (embedded units connected through GPRS) expect some sequence of bytes from server after connecting. Clients are able to send their data after they receive this starting sequence. I just send sequence of bytes in OnClientConnect events of server socket - it seems to work fine without any problem. Lukas I'm using TWSocketServer to handle multiple incoming connections from a client's embedded unit. Unfortunately the remote unit has a few limitations; the main one being that it can establish an IP connection to a server but cannot send data until the server requests it. This means that although the OnClientConnect function gets called, the OnDataAvailable does not. I had put a line of code in the OnClientConnect to trigger the OnDataAvailable function but this seems to be blocking other connections. You should not do that. OnDataAvailable is triggered when the other side has sent data. My questions are:- i)Is there a way to trigger the OnDataAvailable function by post a message on the socket. No way. Well, no way that has real meaning. ii) Is there a better way to do this without going to a threaded model. No need to go multithreaded. You said: cannot send data until the server requests it. This is the solution: once the embedded unit is connected send the request it waits. Probably the banner property is the place where you could place you request because banner is what the server component sent immediately when a client connect. BTW and for my information, what kind of unit is this and what kind of request does it needs ? -- francois.pie...@overbyte.be The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be -- lukas skala envinet a.s. divize projektu a inzenyringu (project and engineering division) modrinova 1094 674 01 trebic tel: +420 568 409 862 (811) fax: +420 568 409 875 gsm: +420 724 461 062 icq: 66842878 eml: lukas.sk...@envinet.cz, luky.sk...@gmail.com www: http://envinet.cz -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be

Why not simply request data from OnClientConnect? -- Arno Garrels -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
