Echo server
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Create a network service that sits on TCP port 12321, which accepts connections on that port, and which echoes complete lines (using a carriage-return/line-feed sequence as line separator) back to clients. No error handling is required. For the purposes of testing, it is only necessary to support connections from localhost (127.0.0.1 or perhaps ::1). Logging of connection information to standard output is recommended.
The implementation must be able to handle simultaneous connections from multiple clients. A multi-threaded or multi-process solution may be used. Each connection must be able to echo more than a single line.
The implementation must not stop responding to other clients if one client sends a partial line or stops reading responses.
Ada
single-threaded, one client served at a time.

This is a rather standard code (details apart); the reference guide for such a code is the Beej's Guide to Network programming. The dependency from POSIX is mainly in the use of the read and write functions, (using the socket as a file descriptor sometimes make things simpler).

Common Lisp
Here is a basic :usocket example (it should work with any Common Lisp):
<lang lisp>(ql:quickload (list :usocket)) (defpackage :echo (:use :cl :usocket)) (in-package :echo)
(defun read-all (stream)
(loop for char = (read-char-no-hang stream nil :eof)
until (or (null char) (eq char :eof)) collect char into msg
finally (return (values msg char))))
(defun echo-server (port &optional (log-stream *standard-output*))
(let ((connections (list (socket-listen "127.0.0.1" port :reuse-address t)))) (unwind-protect
(loop (loop for ready in (wait-for-input connections :ready-only t) do (if (typep ready 'stream-server-usocket) (push (socket-accept ready) connections) (let* ((stream (socket-stream ready)) (msg (concatenate 'string "You said: " (read-all stream)))) (format log-stream "Got message...~%") (write-string msg stream) (socket-close ready) (setf connections (remove ready connections))))))
(loop for c in connections do (loop while (socket-close c))))))
(echo-server 12321) </lang>
It's single threaded, so you can't REPL around with a running server. You'll need to start a second Lisp prompt, load the above and
<lang lisp>(defun echo-send (message port)
(with-client-socket (sock str "127.0.0.1" port)
(write-string message str)
(force-output str)
(when (wait-for-input sock :timeout 5)
(coerce (read-all str) 'string))))
(echo-send "Hello echo!" 12321) </lang>
The return value of that call should be "You said: Hello echo!".
The usocket library notwithstanding, sockets are not a standard part of Common Lisp, but many implementations provide them. Here is a CLISP-specific example:
<lang lisp>(defvar *clients* '()
"This is a list of (socket :input status) which is used with
`socket:socket-status' to test for data ready on a socket.")
(defun echo-server (port)
"Listen on `port' for new client connections and for data arriving on

D
This is a very basic server that processes the buffers one character at a time. In a real-world application, the buffers would be larger. More seriously, it processes one listener at a time. If the currSock.receive() blocks, the loop will not process other clients. This opens the door for a trivial denial-of-service attack. A realistic echo service must multiplex clients.
<lang d>import std.array, std.socket;
void main() {
auto listener = new TcpSocket; assert(listener.isAlive); listener.bind(new InternetAddress(12321)); listener.listen(10);
Socket currSock; uint bytesRead; ubyte[1] buff;
while (true) {
currSock = listener.accept();
while ((bytesRead = currSock.receive(buff)) > 0)
currSock.send(buff);
currSock.close();
buff.clear();
}

Lua
This implementation doesn't rely on coroutines because they're an additional (often confusing) notion that could make the example needlessly hard to understand. Instead it uses a table of not-quite-non-blocking socket client objects (they block for one microsecond), which is iterated over to check on whether each one has either a line to echo or an error to warrant deletion. <lang Lua>require("socket")
function checkOn (client)
local line, err = client:receive()
if line then
print(tostring(client) .. " said " .. line)
client:send(line .. "\n")
end
if err and err ~= "timeout" then
print(tostring(client) .. " " .. err)
client:close()
return err
end
return nil
end
local delay, clients, newClient = 10^-6, {} local server = assert(socket.bind("*", 12321)) server:settimeout(delay) print("Server started") while 1 do
repeat
newClient = server:accept()
for k, v in pairs(clients) do
if checkOn(v) then table.remove(clients, k) end
end
until newClient
newClient:settimeout(delay)
print(tostring(newClient) .. " connected")
table.insert(clients, newClient)
end</lang> Without the microsecond delays, the whole thing would become one 'hot' loop and eat all the CPU time for one core. With them, it uses close to zero percent.

Perl
This server will run indefinitely listening in the port 12321 and forking every time a client connects, the childs listen to the client and write back.
This is an example using the IO::Socket module: <lang perl>use IO::Socket; my $use_fork = 1;
my $sock = new IO::Socket::INET (
LocalHost => '127.0.0.1',
LocalPort => '12321',
Proto => 'tcp',
Listen => 1, # maximum queued connections
Reuse => 1,
)
or die "socket: $!"; # no newline, so perl appends stuff
$SIG{CHLD} = 'IGNORE' if $use_fork; # let perl deal with zombies
print "listening...\n"; while (1) { # declare $con 'my' so it's closed by parent every loop
my $con = $sock->accept()
or die "accept: $!"; fork and next if $use_fork; # following are for child only
print "incoming..\n"; print $con $_ while(<$con>); # read each line and write back print "done\n";
last if $use_fork; # if not forking, loop }
- child will reach here and close its copy of $sock before exit</lang>
This is an equivalent program using the Net::Server module: <lang perl>package Echo; use base 'Net::Server::Fork'; sub process_request {
print while <STDIN>;
} Echo->run(port => 12321, log_level => 3);</lang> It also prints the IP address and port number of every connection.
This is a more complicated example using preforking: <lang perl>package Echo; use base 'Net::Server::PreFork'; sub process_request {
print while <STDIN>;
} Echo->run(port => 12321, log_level => 3);</lang> By default it spawns 5 child processes at startup, makes sure there are always at least 2 and at most 10 spare children available for new requests, each of which will be killed after processing 1000 requests and new ones will take their place.

<lang perl6>my $socket = IO::Socket::INET.new:
localhost => 'localhost', localport => 12321, listen => 1;

Tcl
This code is single-threaded. It uses non-blocking I/O to perform the transfers, sitting on top of the event multiplexer system call (e.g., select() on Unix) to decide when to take new connections or service a particular socket. This makes this into a very lightweight echo server in terms of overall system resources.
<lang tcl># How to handle an incoming new connection proc acceptEcho {chan host port} {
puts "opened connection from $host:$port" fconfigure $chan -blocking 0 -buffering line -translation crlf fileevent $chan readable [list echo $chan $host $port]
}
- How to handle an incoming message on a connection
proc echo {chan host port} {
if {[gets $chan line] >= 0} {
puts $chan $line
} elseif {[eof $chan]} {
close $chan
puts "closed connection from $host:$port"
}
# Other conditions causing a short read need no action
}
- Make the server socket and wait for connections
socket -server acceptEcho -myaddr localhost 12321 vwait forever</lang>
Alternative version
A more succinct version (though one harder to adapt to other kinds of services, but closer to the standard unix echo daemon since it has no line-buffering) is to use an asynchronous binary copy. <lang tcl># How to handle an incoming new connection proc acceptEcho {chan host port} {
puts "opened connection from $host:$port" fconfigure $chan -translation binary -buffering none fcopy $chan $chan -command [list done $chan $host $port]
}
- Called to finalize the connection
proc done {chan host port args} {
puts "closed connection from $host:$port" close $chan
}
