Request per TCP #8

Closed thejacko12354 closed 8 years ago

Hey Mike, I'd like to adapt your little tool, so that I can pull informations over TCP for my instance of Home Automation.

Maybe you could give me some advise how to do it efficiently, because I've never written anything in C.

Hi Jacko. I'm afraid it would be beyond my competence to teach you how to use C. There are lots of guides out there, and I also find Beej's Guide to Networking really useful.

The tool itself is meant to act as a guide – it's a simple enough program that reads the pipe from the standard input.

All the best Mike

Well thanks Mike for the answer. I think I try to understand the encoding of the pipe and write a tool myself in python.

That sound good. It may be that some other people have used Python too.
