Server and socket

1

Hi, Im writing neko server and want to communicate from openfl application with it. in docs.openfl.org i found two classes:
openfl.net.Socket and sys.net.Socket and what are the differences ? any cons & pros. Don’t know with one I should use and why

Haxe includes a Socket class, but only on “sys” platforms. It won’t work on HTML5, or Flash, etc.

The OpenFL Socket class is a wrapper that should work with a sys.net.Socket on native, but also work on HTML5, and is compatible with the Flash socket class. If you find any issues using it, please let us know so we can continue to improve the implementation :slight_smile:

thx, It’s sound awesome, but I have little problem.
I’ve created neko threadServer and can connect and send data to this server easly.
but when I try to recive data on openfl client (using openfl.net.Socket ) like this:

s.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, function(e:ProgressEvent)
	    {
	      trace('recived');
	     // trace(s.readUTFBytes(s.bytesAvailable));
	    });

and Im sending it like this:

c.socket.output.writeString("aaa");

i’ve got instant crash with error:

Are you using latest openfl and lime? A similar issue has been fixed recently.
