Where I am hazy is that I am not sure if it is coming in in the
form of an hhttp post all I am told it is a tcp connection that sends this data
Assuming you can get your client to send some test requests, use a
tool like netcat to listen on a specified port, open your firewall
to allow the traffic through and have a look at what comes in. e.g.
nc -l -p <port number to listen on>
If it is http, but you can't specify the url, you'll need to make
sure the requests get handled by coldfusion (should be easy
enough). If it's not http, you'll have to handle the incoming
connections using something other than a web server. That'll be a
pain in the ass because you've another service to worry about, but
most general purpose programming languages make light work of
writing simple tcp socket servers.
Ah Thanks this is very helpful.
As I say I think this the answer my client has gone vack to them
and asked for specifics so that will help. I have a feeling it is
not http so I will need something written in C for this. Probably
not something we want to get involved in but it is for an existing
client sigh....
Thanks again for your input.
