Use http_stream.cpp and http_stream.h to connect socket on another machine

[komalpharate]

Hi, I tried http_stream.cpp and http_stream.h. Works good on local setup. Can I use the same setup to stream over socket to another machine?

[AlexeyAB]

Hi, Yes, you can. Just type URL like this in the browser: http://ip-address:8090

[komalpharate]

Thanks for the reply. But want to run socket client on another machine. This client will get the output stream and display the stream in its browser.

[komalpharate]

To be more clear. My socket client is in Nodejs. Running on another VM. This VM will listen to Jetson's socket server. And display the stream wherever it wants

[AlexeyAB]

What error do you get?

[komalpharate]

As I said, The setup http://ip-address:8090 on machines which are in network or http://localhost/8090 on Jetson works for me. Now, I want to connect to socket server hosted on Jetson. Socket client in nodejs. What is the topic I should listen on?

@AlexeyAB Hello! I apologize, could not answer my question? What does this piece of code answer? I get an error cerr << "error : couldn't accept connection on sock " << sock << " !" << endl; during streaming. Thank you!

it's here

if (client == SOCKET_ERROR)
                {
                    cerr << "error : couldn't accept connection on sock " << sock << " !" << endl;
                    return false;
                }

Just read cases when accept() returns -1: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/accept.2.html#RETURN_VALUE

@AlexeyAB was read. So, it was a connection problem? if communication with the server / client is lost

[AlexeyAB]

@AshleyRoth This is problem (connection lost,...) when the new client try to connect to the Darknet.

[AshleyRoth]

@AlexeyAB The problem of the unstable connection between the darknet and the client, I correctly understood?

[AlexeyAB]

@AshleyRoth yes - in most cases

[AshleyRoth]

@AlexeyAB Okay, thanks! Last question, how many clients can connect to a darknet at the same time? Are there any restrictions in quantity?
