Scriptbasic: SOCK module

[AIR]

I started writing this because the default SOCKET interface doesn't support UDP, etc.

Also, the old ssocket module has some weird stuff going on in it.

Not finished yet, but here is an example:

Code: Script BASIC

1. import sock.bas
2.  
3. ' CREATE NEW **UDP** CONNECTION
4. conn = SOCK::NEW(SOCK::AF_INET, SOCK::SOCK_DGRAM, SOCK::IPPROTO_IP)
5.  
6. ' SET THE SOCKET CONNECTION PARAMETERS
7. ' SERVER, CONNECTION TYPE, PORT
8. ' FOR RETRIEVING LOCAL IP NON-EXISTANT SERVER IS OKAY
9. SOCK::SET("1.0.0.0",SOCK::AF_INET,1)
10.  
11. ' CONNECT
12. SOCK::CONNECT(conn)
13.  
14. ' RETRIEVE IP OF **DEFAULT** ADAPTER
15. ' DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS ETHERNET OR WIFI
16. ' THE IP OF THE DEFAULT ADAPTER IS RETURNED
17. print "Active IP: ",SOCK::GETIP(conn),"\n"
18.  

riveraa@dpi:~/Projects/sb $ ./sb.AppImage socktest.bas
Active IP: 192.168.1.64


For most cases, the built-in SOCKET should suffice, this is more for those instances when you need more configuration options (like UDP support).

A major isssue with the built in socket support is there is no timeout and will hang the connection.
