[REBOL] Re: Rugby Question

Sorry, I had to put this problem aside for a minute. Ok Maarten, I followed
your advise to keep a running list of the server ports when I connect to
them, that makes sense, but I'm still not following how the server can keep
track of the clients. Basically I need to do this on the server:
alive: does
[
client-IP: {get client IP and port from Rugby?}
]
or something like that so that and then serve that function. This way the
client can call that function periodically to let the server know that it is
still running. I need to have the IP for security reasons so I can make
sure that the client is coming from the same address every time. If you
need any more specifics, let me know. Some code would really help. THanks
again,
Matt
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When a server start, it generates "stub" code, code that a client can
retrieve and use to connect to a service. So.... get-rugby-service
receives this code (essentially a block containing function defs) and
you either do them or put them in an object.
Now when the stub code is received the client replaces all *http* by the
ip address it just used to connect. And when you invoke a function on a
get-rugby-service'd retrieved stub it connects back, etc.
