All,

I think the problem with the stdin handling under Windows
and the "terminal" program is just one of lack of compatibility
between Unix and Windows.

Basically it is that 0 can not be used by select(). This is a
limitation of the socket API provided by Windows.

Michael: maybe we can provide another program, something like
"windozeterminal" (and that is where it starts becoming messy :-)

We need to modify adaptation.c. It has to run at least two threads...

In general, if you want to run a terminal like program under Windows,
which can read data from stdin, you may just have to create a program
with an event loop that does the following things:
- - poll user data input (via windows functions):
if user types in data on the prompt (or in a window or whereever,
this data can be sent via SCTPs sctp_send() in an appropriate
function that handles the user input)
- - calls sctp_getEvents() or sctp_eventLoop() which polls or waits
for SCTP events.
- - treat any other relevant events (usual windoze stuff).

Well, you need to run multiple threads. The easiest way is to modify
adaptation.c. We have an (much simpler) version of adaptation.c running
on Windows and Unix which handles this problem.

If there is enough interest in sctplib on Windows we could update
adaptation.c. You have just to handle fd 0 in a special way in the API.

So the question is: How much interest is there?

Best regards
Michael

Hope that helps,

Andreas

compiler. The problem is that stdin is not an fd like you get
back from a socket() call. So the stdin handling in the winsctplib
is currently not working. I do not think that it helps to build
on cygwin with gcc.

The README describes how to build a server and also the echo_tool.
This can act as a client and as a server and you can use it to
play with SCTP on Windows.

Best regards

How can I compile the server and the client whit gcc?
I must copy any file in any location?

On the Windows side the client is NOT working due to the limited
capabilities of the Windows stdin handling.

What problems do you encounter with the servers?

I've CCed the list because that is the way you reach also some
people known more about the Windows world than i do.

Best regards

Thanks for this information!
I work with windows and I have downloaded the winsctplib. There are
many
server but seem not work correctly. You know why? I have followed the
procedure in the readme.

Hi Mike,
I'm assuming that you are talking about the sctplib. There is
a client provided in sctplib/programs: terminal.

Best regards
Michael

Hi!!

How can I make a simple client for communicate with a server like
echo_server?

Can I modify this server for make a client?

Best regards,

 

Mike
