Sockets

For this exercise a program is open a socket to localhost on port 256 and send the message "hello socket world" before closing the socket.

Catching any exceptions or errors is not required.

With little changes it could work on MS Windows (without Cygwin) too. But I don't know exactly how. I have tested it using nc -l -p 256.

"Well-known" port numbers (under 1024 -- such as 256) can also be specified by name (in this case 'RAP').

If there is no listener on this port, this will hang for a while before timing out.

    Socket sock = new Socket( host, 256 );
    sock.getOutputStream().write(msg.getBytes());
    sock.getOutputStream().flush();
    sock.close();
  }
}

Encapsulating the Socket's OutputStream in a PrintStream (for data) or PrintWriter (for text) may be easier in more complex programs for their auto-flush abilities, encoding management, and their overloaded print and println methods. The write method from the original OutputStream will still be available.

  On TOPS-20, TCP-connections are made by opening a special
  file on the "TCP:" device (in this case "TCP:256"). Apart
  from the funky filename, there is virtually no difference
  between opening files on disk and creating TCP-connections
  or endpoints, so we go through the usual sequence of GTJFN
  (= get file-handle), OPENF (open file), finally followed
  by CLOSF (close file).

Prolog

This works with Gnu Prolog. Other implementations will have different predicates.

start(Port) :- socket('AF_INET',Socket),
               socket_connect(Socket, 'AF_INET'(localhost,Port), Input, Output),

SendNetworkString(ConnectionID, "hello socket world")

Python

"""Connect to a socket. Requires Python >= 3.2."""
import socket

with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as sock:
    sock.connect(("localhost", 256))
    sock.sendall(b"hello socket world")

Output:

This example output uses netcat (nc) to provide a socket to connect to. Some versions of netcat require the -p (port) flag to be used in combination with -l (listen mode), some treat the combination of -l and -p as an error, and some don't mind either way. On some systems, you can use sudo netstat -tulpn | grep nc to show what port netcat is actually listening on.

256 is a "well-known", reserved port number. Binding to well-known ports usually requires elevated permissions. Hence the use of sudo here.

$ sudo nc -l -p 256 & python sock.py
[3] 10559
hello socket world[3]   Done                    sudo nc -l -p 256
