SlowCoder74 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 As part of one of my projects at work that needs TCP communication, I decided to build my own TCP server/client pair. I tried to build it so that it is fairly self-managed, easy to implement into network projects, and contains a lot of useful inbuilt metrics. Supported metrics (supported both server and client side): - Number of current connections - Client and server connection test - Bytes sent / received / processed - Packets sent / received / processed - Number of clients connected - Sockets / IP address / computer name - Connection timestamp / elapsed time - Last packet received timestamp / elapsed time - Last packet sent timestamp / elapsed time Functionality (on top of standard TCP functions): - Configurable to send an initial "connection packet" upon connection, client or server-side. - Connection keep-alive packets at specific intervals - "Stale" connection disconnects for old, idle connections - Selective client broadcasting. On the server, clients can be individually selected to rebroadcast data received from them. - Automatic IP/socket/computer name detection - Connection state change detection. e.g. This facilitates updating a GUI connection list when clients have connected or disconnected. I would appreciate your constructive comments and suggestions. I am including the UDF, and sample server and client.

guinness Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 The first issue I notice is declaring Global variables inside a function is bad UDF design. Then you may wish to run your UDF through Jos' Tidy program and Au3Check with these parameters at the top of your script. #AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w- 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w 7 UDF List: _AdapterConnections() • _AlwaysRun() • _AppMon() • _AppMonEx() • _ArrayFilter/_ArrayReduce • _BinaryBin() • _CheckMsgBox() • _CmdLineRaw() • _ContextMenu() • _ConvertLHWebColor()/_ConvertSHWebColor() • _DesktopDimensions() • _DisplayPassword() • _DotNet_Load()/_DotNet_Unload() • _Fibonacci() • _FileCompare() • _FileCompareContents() • _FileNameByHandle() • _FilePrefix/SRE() • _FindInFile() • _GetBackgroundColor()/_SetBackgroundColor() • _GetConrolID() • _GetCtrlClass() • _GetDirectoryFormat() • _GetDriveMediaType() • _GetFilename()/_GetFilenameExt() • _GetHardwareID() • _GetIP() • _GetIP_Country() • _GetOSLanguage() • _GetSavedSource() • _GetStringSize() • _GetSystemPaths() • _GetURLImage() • _GIFImage() • _GoogleWeather() • _GUICtrlCreateGroup() • _GUICtrlListBox_CreateArray() • _GUICtrlListView_CreateArray() • _GUICtrlListView_SaveCSV() • _GUICtrlListView_SaveHTML() • _GUICtrlListView_SaveTxt() • _GUICtrlListView_SaveXML() • _GUICtrlMenu_Recent() • _GUICtrlMenu_SetItemImage() • _GUICtrlTreeView_CreateArray() • _GUIDisable() • _GUIImageList_SetIconFromHandle() • _GUIRegisterMsg() • _GUISetIcon() • _Icon_Clear()/_Icon_Set() • _IdleTime() • _InetGet() • _InetGetGUI() • _InetGetProgress() • _IPDetails() • _IsFileOlder() • _IsGUID() • _IsHex() • _IsPalindrome() • _IsRegKey() • _IsStringRegExp() • _IsSystemDrive() • _IsUPX() • _IsValidType() • _IsWebColor() • _Language() • _Log() • _MicrosoftInternetConnectivity() • _MSDNDataType() • _PathFull/GetRelative/Split() • _PathSplitEx() • _PrintFromArray() • _ProgressSetMarquee() • _ReDim() • _RockPaperScissors()/_RockPaperScissorsLizardSpock() • _ScrollingCredits • _SelfDelete() • _SelfRename() • _SelfUpdate() • _SendTo() • _ShellAll() • _ShellFile() • _ShellFolder() • _SingletonHWID() • _SingletonPID() • _Startup() • _StringCompact() • _StringIsValid() • _StringRegExpMetaCharacters() • _StringReplaceWholeWord() • _StringStripChars() • _Temperature() • _TrialPeriod() • _UKToUSDate()/_USToUKDate() • _WinAPI_Create_CTL_CODE() • _WinAPI_CreateGUID() • _WMIDateStringToDate()/_DateToWMIDateString() • Au3 script parsing • AutoIt Search • AutoIt3 Portable • AutoIt3WrapperToPragma • AutoItWinGetTitle()/AutoItWinSetTitle() • Coding • DirToHTML5 • FileInstallr • FileReadLastChars() • GeoIP database • GUI - Only Close Button • GUI Examples • GUICtrlDeleteImage() • GUICtrlGetBkColor() • GUICtrlGetStyle() • GUIEvents • GUIGetBkColor() • Int_Parse() & Int_TryParse() • IsISBN() • LockFile() • Mapping CtrlIDs • OOP in AutoIt • ParseHeadersToSciTE() • PasswordValid • PasteBin • Posts Per Day • PreExpand • Protect Globals • Queue() • Resource Update • ResourcesEx • SciTE Jump • Settings INI • SHELLHOOK • Shunting-Yard • Signature Creator • Stack() • Stopwatch() • StringAddLF()/StringStripLF() • StringEOLToCRLF() • VSCROLL • WM_COPYDATA • More Examples...

Luigi Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) I study this script, but I can't understand because sometimes in the code the author use a loop for iteration... like this... for $iIter = 1 to 5 I comment this loop and it seems nothing is changing... why this loop? Br, Detefon ; Routines_TCP.au3 line ~280 ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ;-- FUNCTION: _TCPServer_GetPacket - Updated 20140611 -------------------------------------- ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Func _TCPServer_GetPacket($iTCPClientElem) ;parse specified client's data queue and retrieve next packet ;returns full packet if Not _TCP_ConnInfo("IsConnected",$iTCPClientElem) then Return ;first, see if there is any data in the TCP stack to add to the client's pre-process queue Local $sReceivedData = "" for $iIter = 1 to 5 $sReceivedData = TCPRecv($aTCPClientSocket[$iTCPClientElem], $iTCPReceiveChars) Switch @error Case 0 ;no error. process normally if $sReceivedData <> "" Then ;add received data to client's data queue $aTCPClientReceivedData[$iTCPClientElem] = $aTCPClientReceivedData[$iTCPClientElem] & $sReceivedData $aTCPClientDataLastReceivedTimestamp[$iTCPClientElem] = _NowCalc() ;mark the last data received timestamp EndIf Case -1 ;if using AutoIt 3.3.10.0 or higher, this error is actually "no data received", not an error. This error code does not exist in previous versions of AutoIt. $sReceivedData = "" Case Else ;TCP error. disconnect _TCPServer_Disconnect($iTCPClientElem) $sReceivedData = "" EndSwitch if $sReceivedData = "" then ExitLoop Next Edited December 29, 2014 by Detefon Visit my repository Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
