I am looking to create a TCP client/server application and I have been told ICS is the easiest to use (indy is quite easy but no data recieve for client threw me for a spin).
I cannot find any TCP client example, but the TCP Server example I have been looking at confuses me a bit as to how it works. There is one "TTcpSrvClient = class(TWSocketClient)", and the comment above states something along the lines of the setup using this will automatically create new clients as they connect (from what I understand), but I don't quite get how this works? I am used to using arrays of things and tracking them in that fashion. As I want many clients to connect to a server (and some way of adding strings and other things to each client as a read/write property, like how you use Record Arrays for storing username etc), and track/reference them by some kind of index. Something like: Client attempts a connection.... Server on connect fires up..... Client has sent username and password.... Server checks username and password.... and sends their index to them if successfull.... Client sends data along with the assigned index.... When data is available, internally I now know who wants what and why (using the index). I hope this makes sense, any help is greatly appreciated and if any clarification is necessary let me know. Also this is not an urgent problem or anything it's only for a personal project so take your time with a reply :). -- http://www.chri-soft.com -- 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
