I'm looking for a program that I saw 2 years ago or so. It's basically
a utility that can act as a tcp or udp client or server, which is useful
when writing and debugging such programs. Better than using telnet,
since telnet can't do udp or debug a client.
I saw it running on Solaris, and my guess is that it's free software,
but I'm not sure. I looked for it on freshmeat and didn't find
anything, but I don't know what to search for except for 'socket' or
'network', and I might have missed something while hitting space 50
times to page through the results.
Speaking of freshmeat, while doing this I've been thinking how it would
be nice if the appindex categories were actually keywords. Because
sometimes I don't care if something's X11 or Console, I just need
something to do X (but I don't want anything KDE or Web, for example).
Another thing is programs that fall into multiple categories, such as a
program that has both X and command line modes, or a mail and news
reader. It shouldn't be terribly hard to do this, since it's all PHP'd
and SQL'd already. Of course, they'll have to write new code for the
search and stuff. Too bad freshmeat isn't GPL. Actually, what I'm
thinking about is sort of like the multiple browse and search views at
happypenguin.org.. hm...
