hello there, I am trying to figure out how to send out DNS messages from an application socket adapter to a DNSBL. I spent the last two days understanding the basics, including experimenting with WireShark to catch an example of message exchanged. Now I would like to query the DNS without using dig or host command (I'm using Ubuntu); how...
This question addresses how to register a custom URL protocol to launch an application in response to a link, but I want my handler to serve dynamic content. Essentially, I'm looking to create a web application that runs on the user's machine instead of a web server. I could set up a localhost, but I want to use a "friendly" URL format...
Hi, guys need some insight here. I know the definition of a protocol, being new to this c++ programming is quite a challenging task.I am creating a Multi-threaded chat using SDL/C++, this is a learning experience for me and now i have encounter a hump in which I need to overcome but understanding it is a little more difficult than I had...
Hello, everyone! What are different terms for "content negotiation" (when not talking about HTTP)? For example: some (remote or local) services, components, modules, are negotiating about which protocol to use and/or which content type to exchange. Service provider About the content: What I am very good at, is providing apples. I a...
I'm trying to find a version of UDP which just alleviates the restriction of a maximum size of the message sent. I don't care about reliability or partial retransmission, if all chunks arrive I want the message to be assembled from the chunks in sending order and delivered to the listening app. If one or more chunks are missing I would j...
Do protocols come with any overhead? (ie. obvious benefits aside, do they slow things down?) ...
Hello, I created a small app in C# that removes border and caption from window, then it sets size to the user's resolution and centers it. It's a utility for me to use when I want to play games in windowed mode without being annoyed by the borders. Everything works fine with most games, but I tried to use it on a recently released game A...
Is anyone aware of a good tutorial/book which describes the FIX protocol? I need to connect to a FIX server. It supports a limited number of messages and I'd like to write my own FIX engine. ...
I have been playing around with trying to implement some protocol decoders, but each time I run into a "simple" problem and I feel the way I am solving the problem is not optimal and there must be a better way to do things. I'm using C. Currently I'm using some canned data and reading it in as a file, but later on it would be via TCP or ...
I've implemented several telecom protocols from human-readable specs in various languages during my career, and frankly, I'm not enjoying it very much anymore. Instead, I'd like to translate the human-readable protocol specs into machine-readable protocol specs, and automatically generate protocol handlers in various languages. I'm sp...
I've got a site built on top of Kohana 2.3 which I now have to make all links https. I set this in application/config/config.php. $config['site_protocol'] = 'https'; This makes all links on the site use the https protocol. Except, when I first enter the site via http, it will not automatically forward to https. Is there a way to ma...
I'm trying to create a new type in Clojure using deftype to implement a two dimensional (x,y) coordinate, which implements a "Location" protocol. I'd also like to have this implement the standard Java equals, hashCode and toString methods. My initial attempt is: (defprotocol Location (get-x [p]) (get-y [p]) (add [p q...
@protocol MyViewDelegate <NSObject> - (void) didFinishProcessing:(MyView*)myView; //compiler stops here with error @end @interface MyView : MySuperclass { id<MyViewDelegate> _delegate; } @property (nonatomic, retain) id<MyViewDelegate> delegate; @end When I try to compile I get " expected ')' before MyView ". Where is the er...
Is there a way to specify a packet-based protocol in XML, so (de)serialization can happen automatically? The context is as follows. I have a device that communicates through a serial port. It sends and receives a byte stream consisting of 'packets'. A packet is a collection of elementary data types and (sometimes) other packets. Some el...
hello all what means a word "USING" in declaration of @protocol the declaration is @protocol name USING // declaration of methods @end thank for all conributters ...
Hello, I am currently designing a low level network serialization protocol (in fact, a refinement of an existing protocol). As the work progress, pen and paper documents start to show their limits: i have tons of papers, new and outdated merged together, etc... And i can't show anything to anyone since i describe the protocol using my ...
Hi All, Aplogies for the ignorant question, I have no experience with app development on any mobile platform. Basically what I want to know is what communication protocols do apps typically use for accessing/querying centralised services? E.g if I port a webapp/service to iPhone/Android, typically how would I access/query this web servi...
As related to my previous question, I have developed a temporary asynchronous pluggable protocol with the specific aim to be able to serve PDF documents directly to a WebBrowser control via a database. I need to do this because my limitations include not being able to access the disk other than IsolatedStorage; and a MemoryStream would b...
There are dozens of network protocols and file formats (WAV, TCP, BMP, etc. etc.) Is there a solution available to create an abstraction layer between the implementation of a protocol and the code that uses the resulting data? Take a WAV file. A software component could contain logic to identify chucks and parse them into classes. The ...
I am new to Protocol Buffers and seeing this as good approach to go. I created a proto file, and using compiler, I generated Java beans. Using this Java Beans, I initialize the object, and try to write it to file. The purpose is just to see how big the file is. I don't have client/server test ready at this moment to test via HTTP. I am ...
