I've been searching the Revolution archives, and I think I'm close,
but I need some assistance figuring out what I'm missing.
Basically, I need to mimic a telnet session in Revolution.
I need to send text commands to a server on the internet via port 7777,
and receive the data that comes back.
If I were doing this manually, I'd type:
telnet dins.gte.net 7777
and then type "cmd=getAccessType"
and then the server responds with
cmd=getAccessType&errorCode=NOERROR&count=7&1=28.8K&2=33.6K&3=33.6K,
ISDN&4=33.6K, ISDN, V.90&5=33.6K, V.90&6=ISDN Only&7=V.90
(you can try this as well, if you're on a live connection)
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing in my code?
When I click the button, it seems to send successfully, but I get nothing
back...
on mouseUp
open socket "dins.gte.net:7777"
write "cmd=getAccessType" & CRLF to socket "dins.gte.net:7777" with message
"callbackmsg"
wait 3 seconds
read from socket "dins.gte.net:7777" for 80 with message "gotData"
close socket "dins.gte.et:7777"
end mouseUp
on callbackmsg data
put "callback (the result) = " & the result
end callbackmsg
on socketError
answer "got an error"
end socketError
on gotData
put "databack (the result) = " & the result
end gotData
