telnetd? #32

Open cjb opened 9 years ago

cjb commented 9 years ago

Hi, any interest in adding a telnetd so you can log in to a runtimejs host remotely? If so, I'd be happy to have a stab at it, any suggestions on how it ought to work? Thanks!

Hi, yes, it would be useful to have a telnet server, but it requires a TCP protocol. This is something I'm still working on. Right now it's possible to implement a telnet over UDP but I think it's not very practical.

Oh! I saw your tweets about httpd and guessed TCP was done, but now I see it's not merged yet. :) That makes sense.

Well, TCP is very complex, I'm at a point where TCP echo server works, but it's very unreliable (no retransmission/flow control etc). There are probably lots of bugs too :)
