Tcpobject

I noticed a few posts about the TCPObject class. Has anyone been able to get this object working from within Torque2D? I am assuming you can persist connections. Any samples, tutorials, or more information that could help me get started with this object would be awesome.

Thanks for any help.

I've used it extensively. I did modify the engine source a bit to tailor it to my needs (mostly adding the ability to do binary file transfers, report connection state, etc.)

I don't have any clean actual-code samples right this second, but the typical init and execution is pretty short. Just something like this:

new TCPObject(TCPConnection);

TCPConnection.connect("someserver.com:80");
TCPConnection.send("Outbound string here\n");

function TCPConnection::onLine(%this, %line)
{
   echo("Incoming line: " @ %line);
}

function TCPConnection::onConnected(%this)
{
   echo("Connected!");
}

function TCPConnection::onDisconnect(%this)
{
   echo("Disconnected!");
}

There are other callbacks for various connection status messages but those are the main three you'll need to get started.
