C++ Sockets
C++ Sockets is a cross-platform C++ wrapper for BSD-style sockets. It implements the TCP, UDP, ICMP, and SCTP transport layer protocols. Implemented application layer protocols are HTTP/HTTPS (using OpenSSL), SMTP (server), and Ajp/1.3 (server). Features include transparent SOCKS4 client support and asynchronous DNS. Included in the library are a number of HTTP client functions such as GET/PUT/POST, and also Web server framework components.

Recent releases
- 20 May 2009 15:29
Changes: Initialization problems with OpenSSL and Win32 were fixed. A default interface for multicast was added. A crashing problem with getnameinfo on Mac OS X was fixed.
- 13 May 2009 10:19
Changes: Some .cpp files were missing namespace declarations and have been fixed. Some includes for IPv6 were missing and have been fixed. Operators in the StreamWriter class were modified to work on 64-bit as well as 32-bit systems.
- 23 Dec 2008 14:22
Changes: A deadlock in SSLInitializer that was introduced in 2.3.2 was fixed. A check was added for when select() returns -1, indicating that one of the file descriptors has gone bad. The check rebuilds the fd_set used by select(). A bug was fixed in HttpGetSocket: one of the constructors had no support in HttpClientSocket. Bad #include directives in Utility were corrected.
- 06 Nov 2008 20:23
Changes: A thread-safe list of the SSL initializer, SSL contexts, and OpenSSL error text retrieval. An interface for the Mutex class adds the ability for others to implement the mutex functionality using other approaches. The FromUtf8 method has been moved from XmlNode to Utility.
- 20 Oct 2008 12:17
Changes: The Remove() method in SocketHandler was changed from private to protected. Utility::Stack was added, which returns a stack walk (currently in Linux only). The $(DESTDIR) variable was added in the Makefile for more flexible installation. The timeout value is now reset before OnTimeout() is called, making it possible to set a new timeout value in the OnTimeout() method.

In fact the problem went away as soon as I compiled the libraries using STLPort.

Problem running a program linked with V2.1.7 & V2.3
I've been using V2.1 and things have been working fine. I have recently found a problem with the V2.1 and in looking at the code it appears that V2.3 has fixed the issue.
When I attempt to run a program that now includes the V2.3 it aborts when running. If I switch back to V2.1 it runs with the exception noted above.
In order to get my code to compile with the V2.3 it was necessary to define _WIN32_WINNT=0x0501. This appears to be due to the change in socket_include.h where winsock2.h is now included instead of winsock.h. This change is in V2.1.7.
Did anyone else have issues when upgrading to the new version?
Can I get a copy of the libraries 2.1.1 - 2.1.6?

Problems in compiling test program in DevC++
Hi,
I am a newbie in C++ programming. I downloaded the zip of source code and tried to compile the test.cpp in DevC++ environment.I have installed OpenSSL but still I am getting following errors. Please help.

Hi, I'am using Mac OS X 10.2.8 I've recently installed the Operative System.
When I try make Sockets-2.1, I get the following error:

The project compiles in Windows XP without problems.
What I'm doing wrong? I'm newbye in Mac architecture.
I'll appreciate your help.
Salutations.
