/* | |
In the node.js intro tutorial (http://nodejs.org/), they show a basic tcp | |
server, but for some reason omit a client connecting to it. I added an | |
example at the bottom. | |
Save the following server in example.js: | |
*/ | |
var net = require('net'); | |
var server = net.createServer(function(socket) { | |
socket.write('Echo server\r\n'); | |
socket.pipe(socket); | |
}); | |
server.listen(1337, '127.0.0.1'); | |
/* | |
And connect with a tcp client from the command line using netcat, the *nix | |
utility for reading and writing across tcp/udp network connections. I've only | |
used it for debugging myself. | |
$ netcat 127.0.0.1 1337 | |
You should see: | |
> Echo server | |
*/ | |
/* Or use this example tcp client written in node.js. (Originated with | |
example code from | |
http://www.hacksparrow.com/tcp-socket-programming-in-node-js.html.) */ | |
var net = require('net'); | |
var client = new net.Socket(); | |
client.connect(1337, '127.0.0.1', function() { | |
console.log('Connected'); | |
client.write('Hello, server! Love, Client.'); | |
}); | |
client.on('data', function(data) { | |
console.log('Received: ' + data); | |
client.destroy(); // kill client after server's response | |
}); | |
client.on('close', function() { | |
console.log('Connection closed'); | |
}); |
