Hi there,
I ran a java server using this tutorial: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/sockets/clientServer.html
It works fine with java clients.
Then I read the documentation on iPhone socket networking and the www and I came up with the following code:
Then I run the java server (the server is waiting on the accept command). Than ran the iPhone application. The iPhone client creates the NSURL with the mac's address and port (I checked these from the terminal). It doesn't seem to open a new thread on the server side, like it did with the java clients (it doesn't unblock the server's accept() command).
In the log file I get this:
If I don't run the java server, I get the same thing (the log describes the same process).
I wanted to see if they will communicate. My way of thinking is that the client as soon it connects should receive some characters (like "Knock knock!" or something like this "@#$#H@HKL" if the encoding is wrong), but the client doesn't receive anything (len==0) and exits the case.
QUESTION:
Am I doing something wrong here?
I don't understand why they can't exchange bytes...
How can I connect them?
Your opinions would be appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Deksa
