Trying to revive this topic.
Im am trying to send the following
var net = require(‘net’);
var HOST = ‘127.0.0.1’;
var PORT = 6969;
var client = new net.Socket();
client.connect(PORT, HOST, function() { console.log(‘CONNECTED TO: ‘ + HOST + ‘:’ + PORT);
// Write a message to the socket as soon as the client is connected, the server will receive it as message from the client
client.write(‘This is a test!’);});In order to do this you need node.js
So is there a way to add node.js I have tried to add all the .js files required however one of the line in many of these files are the equivalent of an include i.e. var net = require(‘net’);
and require is not being recognized by mobioneAlternatively is there an other method to do this, such as web sockets?
Anyone have a sample example using websockets?
Thanks,
Can you provide a more context to how your app needs to communicate?
Is it synchronous request/reply? That is the client opens connection and makes a request, the server replies immediately or soon there after.
Will connection remain open for long period such as waiting for the the server send async events?
Will simple http post or get do job?
Web Sockets are not implemented by the Test Center emulator.
Yes it is a simple sync request reply. Unfortunately an http post will Not get the job done.
I need to be able to send a string to a listening server on a specific port.>I need to be able to send a string to a listening server on a specific port.
Clear! You’ve already mentioned this but I will return to propose using HTML5 websockets or server-sent events as they are available on iOS 5+ (see http://caniuse.com/#feat=websockets). The Test Center emulator does not support websockets yet. On your desktop you can test/debug using Chrome or Safari and the webkit inspector.
