Problem: Talking from C level to Rebol via socket

 [1/1] from: robert::muench::robertmuench::de at: 21-Feb-2009 16:08


Hi, I really don't know what goes wrong in my code, so here it is for all you network gurus. Hopefully one can help: === Setup I have DLL that triggers an event to Rebol via a localhost socket and expects an answer from Rebol. === Problem As long as I obmit the part where the Rebol side wants to send back something an answer to the DLL everything works. As soon as I add the code the DLL that should receive an anwer from Rebol the Rebol side gets an timeout error. Nothing is received on the DLL side. === Rebol side - I create a DLL-LSOCKET listen socket - WAIT DLL-LSOCKET on it - get the real DLL-SOCKET: FIRST DLL-LSOCKET - get the trigger by WAIT DLL-SOCKET trigger: to-block copy DLL-SOCKET return trigger - process the trigger and create an ANSWER - send back the ANSWER insert DLL-SOCKET - CLOSE DLL-SOCKET - return to my main-loop waiting for the next connection. === DLL Side As soon as the DLL side want to send a trigger, it does: - setup all necessary socket infos - CONNECT() to the rebol process - SEND() the trigger string to the rebol process - Uses SELECT() to wait for some data from the rebol process - RECV() data from the rebol process - CLOSE() the socket I expect the problem to be on the DLL side in that after the SEND() I need to get the DLL side into a waiting mode until an answer form the Rebol process is send back. The Rebol side sends an answer immediatly, so I know no there is no timeout problem. Maybe the problem is on the Rebol side. Do I have to INSERT into DLL-LSOCKET or DLL-SOCKET? I think it's DLL-SOCKET. Do I have to "switch" between read/write mode? I don't think so but... Hopefully anyone can help. -- Robert M. Münch Mobile: +49 (177) 245 2802 http://www.robertmuench.de
