Hi,

How can I connect two sockets? I have something like a small proxy and I
just want to pass things through. Therefor I want to connect the client
connected to me to the server I am connected to (like piping).

Thanks for any hints

read client, send to server.
read server send to client.

That's all.

Hi Zoran,

thanks for your help.

That is what I did. I read it into a buffer from the server and then wrote
the buffer to the client.
My problem: I do not know how big the sent Data (-> the buffer) will be (it
could be some Megs). So how can I connect the server and the client directly?

Could you show me a snippet?

Thanks

Clemens

So what you want is a resizeable buffer for reading and sending?

How do you know your data has finished? I mean is there some special
data that tells you to take the preceding data and send it? Or do
you get some length information before you recieve the actual data?

The question "how big is the data" doesn't make any sense for
TCP.  Just transfer the bytes back and forth in whatever sized
chunks you find convenient.

If you're using UDP, then transfer it it whatever sized chunks
you get -- I think the largest allowed chuck for UDP is 64k
bytes.

Wire?
