I'm using TWSocketServer to handle multiple incoming connections from a
client's embedded unit.
Unfortunately the remote unit has a few limitations; the main one being
that it can establish
an IP connection to a server but cannot send data until the server
requests it.
This means that although the OnClientConnect function gets called, the
OnDataAvailable does not.
I had put a line of code in the OnClientConnect to trigger the
OnDataAvailable function
but this seems to be blocking other connections.
You should not do that. OnDataAvailable is triggered when the other side has
sent data.
My questions are:-
i) Is there a way to trigger the OnDataAvailable
function by post a message on the socket.
No way. Well, no way that has real meaning.
ii) Is there a better way to do this without going to a
threaded model.
No need to go multithreaded. You said: "cannot send data until the server
requests it". This is the solution: once the embedded unit is connected send
the request it waits. Probably the banner property is the place where you
could place you request because banner is what the server component sent
immediately when a client connect.
BTW and for my information, what kind of unit is this and what kind of
request does it needs ?
