sample server

[Eugene A]

Hello.

I am looking for a source for a simple server that would just listen to
requests and produce responses to those requests. Prefarrably with examples
on how to implement it.

Thanks in advance,

Eugene.

The answer to your request depends on what you mean by "server." The
C++ standard does not define the term. In order to get some ideas, try
googling for "BSD sockets."

Jeff,

I mean a program that is polling a port for messages and can produce a
response to that same port.

Thank you.

The C++ language and standard libraries don't have any facilities for
working with "ports," nor do they define the concept of a port.
However, third-party libraries are available. The details depend on
your platform. Google for BSD Sockets.

C++ doesn't have "ports" either. Is this for some specific OS and
compiler? You might be able to find examples in that compiler's
documentation.

Depends on how your platform defines "port". On the embedded system
that I am working on, we have 3 ports: 2 serial, one USB. We listen
to the ports and produce response messages back.

The code is written in C, but uses platform specific routines for
accessing the ports.

Try http://www.alhem.net/Sockets/ - example 5 is a tcp/ip client/server thing.
Good luck.
