Programmatic interaction with gdbserver
The gdbserver program allows for the remote debugging of programs. Typically, a local copy of gdb is used to interact with the remote gdbserver instance, and the program running under that remote gdbserver. My question is: Are there client implementations of the gdb remote serial protocol (RSP) that allow programs other than gdb to int...
Writing a stream protocol: Message size field or Message delimiter?
Hi all, I am about to write a message protocol going over a TCP stream. The receiver needs to know where the message boundaries are. I can either send 1) fixed length messages, 2) size fields so the receiver knows how big the message is, or 3) a unique message terminator (I guess this can't be used anywhere else in the message). ...

What is going to overtake FTP and why aren't we using it yet?
Is it just me, or does FTP seem a little archaic? It seems slow and inefficient, and its over 30 years old, not that all old things are bad :) What protocols exist out there that might become successors to FTP? I've used webdav a little, but don't know much about it. Is it faster? More reliable? More secure? Why isn't there widesp...

Is there a way to force a jdbc connection to use TCP?
In a normal SQL Server 2005 connection string, it's possible to specify the desired protocol in the following format: Data Source=tcp:myServerAddress; Initial Catalog=myDataBase; Integrated Security=SSPI; Is there a way to do something similar in a JDBC connection string to SQL Server?

Real world examples of @optional protocol methods
I'm learning Objective-C at the moment and have come across optional methods in Protocols. My background is C# and can see a Protocol as something similar to a C# Interface. Where a C# Interface represents a contract, by advertising an Interface you are saying that you will implement the methods defined. With this in mind I'm confused ...
Best way for Flex to communicate with C# backend?
What is the best way for flex frontend to communicate with backend writted in C#? The only communication channel in HTTP, so no custom sockets.

Examples of "object dictionaries" in application protocols.
I am working on an application protocol for SCADA type applications. From previous experiences with SNMP and CAN Open, I like the idea of "Object Dictionaries" or "Information Bases" (MIB) as a generic way to describe a device and the fields it sends / receives in messages. Is there a proper name for this type of pattern? Further to t...
Web Services - Put vs Post vs Get
I am currently reviewing some code for colleagues on a different project and they are using a WCF ReST web service. My concern is that for each of their methods, only the HTTP protocol POST has been specified. This is true whether the actual method is responsible for getting, updating or creating records. Should web services at all ti...
A good serial communications protocol/stack for embedded devices?
After writing several different custom serial protocols for various projects, I've started to become frustrated with re-inventing the wheel every time. In lieu of continuing to develop custom solutions for every project, I've been searching for a more general solution. I was wondering if anyone knows of a serial protocol (or better ye...
