Hi All…
Managed a little victory this afternoon with figuring out how to use a shell
script in LC to register a Bonjour service. At least how to start the service.
Not sure how to close it once it's started though. This is what I discovered…
on mouseUp
answer shell("dns-sd -R 'LiveCode-Bonjour' _http._tcp . 80 ")
end mouseUp
I'm using a little app that browses the network for Bonjour services, and I see
my new "LiveCode-Bonjour" service listed under the http group. However,
because I used "answer" in front of the shell script, my stack locks up
apparently waiting to answer. I can "command-period" out but I'm guessing I
should have used a get or a put and I would not have locked up my stack? I
can't test his out because once I've registered a Bonjour services with my
stack, I can't figure out how to cancel the service and eliminate
LiveCode-Bonjour from the list of available Bonjour services? Is there another
shell script I can use to cancel the Bonjour service I just registered?
So after I learn how to stop Bonjour service, which protocol should I use to
restart the service if I'm planning on using rresocket? Is it just
_workstation_udp. and the port of my choice? I'm assuming I wouldn't be using
http and 80 if I'm planning to use rresocket for the iOS to send text/data to
the desktop app? However if all I need is the IP why would it matter? Or is the
Bonjour type that i register animportant (workstation_udp & port) component for
getting rresocket to work?
Thanks in advance!
