Re: LiveCode and Websockets
Charles, A WebSockets external would be very beneficial for everyone doing web stuff from LC. I am looking forward to checking it out when it is released. :-) Thanks a lot for working on this.

Re: LiveCode and Websockets
Thanks Charles for the reply. Hope all is going well with you. Where can I test the WebSocket external? I will need it for iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows. Can you email me directly as we are time sensitive on this please. We have the server up and running. Socket.io is the BEST in the market and can deal with 10,000+ simultaneous connections with Node.js as the server. Also, thanks, Tom. I looked at this and what it does is create a bridge between LC and a web browser JavaScript that you add to the form. This is a GREAT workaround if we can find our own controller. I see they need some more Javascript code to manage all the different callback and error trapping functionality, but it is a workable solution we also had considered. It is NOT as flexible as an external, but we will improve it to make it work to keep it as a backup.

Re: LiveCode and WebSockets
Would you care to discuss the difference between websockets and the socketswe work with in livecode or point me to some basic information on the websocket implementation you think we could implement in pure livecode? What things would keep it from working very efficiently? I see you already have some good references. Proper websockets implement a protocol on top of standard TCP socket connections on port 80. I think you could write or port an implementation of this protocol directly using the sockets available in desktop LiveCode. For socket.io there are also other transports available (i.e. web sockets are emulated over some other transport). I think it might be possible to implement the XHR-polling transport in LiveCode, using load URL for the GET request (with the header set to keep the connection alive - it doesn't return anything until the server wants to send you something) and doing standard HTTP posts. What I don't know is whether LiveCode can actually do a POST request while you still have an async load operation running, or whether it will keep the HTTP connection alive as required by XHR-polling (a.k.a. long polling) rather than just timing out?? As for efficiency, LiveCode has pretty good performance because the language is very high level, so each line of code typically does quite a lot in native code in the engine underneath. Implementing a protocol is quite a low-level thing to do in such a high-level language, parsing/formatting all the messages in LiveCode directly is probably quite computationally expensive vs just putting/getting the content of those messages into/from a websocket object that handles the formatting/parsing for you in native code. Also, as Pierre said, you could kludge this through the browser too, using the socket.io client directly. That's going to be much, much less efficient though.

Re: LiveCode and WebSockets

Re: LiveCode and WebSockets
FYI, there is a mobile sockets plugin being developed by Monte at the moment. The first beta has been in our hands for a couple of weeks. Sockets are fun, and very involved. You are the one implementing the protocols. Sometimes that's exactly what you need, and other times, it's extra work you weren't planning on. I think one of the things you will run into is that we do not have a good way to launch and manage secondary processes, yet. You might be better off to have your socket goodies running in livecode server, or in a separate instance of LC so that you have an easier time keeping all the communication, etc. straight.

Re: LiveCode and WebSockets
Thanks Phil, I had read that, and found some other useful info here as well. https://github.com/LearnBoost/socket.io-spec Andrew On Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 6:56 PM, Pierre Sahores s...@sahores-conseil.comwrote: Mark , Should work (untested) : Node.js on the server side + revBrowser (desktop) or mobileBrowser (iOS/android) + some js + a href…client-side pseudo urls/a to get catched by : on browserLoadRequested pUrl, pType -- prefered on the iOS platform (desktop platforms untested) end browserLoadRequested and on browserStartedLoading pUrl -- prefered on the Android platform (desktop platforms untested) end browserStartedLoading to being able to exchange bidirectional messages between your web layer to the native livecode one. note : your web view pseudo URLs needs to match existing files (workingpath/file.html…) in your client app sandboxed cache or document directory to be catchable on the Android platform at least.

Right now I think it'd be possible to implement one or more of the supported transports for socket.io in pure LiveCode but maybe not very efficiently. An alternative would be to wrap existing native implementations as externals. I've not looked into it in any great depth as I'm basically waiting for the engine refactoring to be completed before trying to hook new stuff in.
