I would like to implement as robust as possible localhost (possibly later lan based) socket communication protocol between LiveCode based apps. While I've done a number of experiments, any can get teh 2 way comms going no problem - I'd like to do things in a way in which possible clashes with other apps listening on the same ports is dealt with. For instance I don't know which port tRev listens on?
AFAIK - this is what Zero Configuration Networking<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_configuration_networking>is all about (ie Bonjour). I know there was an unsupported external knocking around - but I'm thinking maybe a poor amns version would be possible. On OSX you cna use mDNS<http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/mDNS.1.html>I believe - how about windows, and linux? _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
