Remarks
At the core of all of the SocketTools networking libraries is
the Windows Sockets API. This provides a low level interface for
sending and receiving data over the Internet or a local intranet
using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and/or User Datagram
Protocol (UDP). The SocketWrench library provides a simpler
interface to the Windows Sockets API, without sacrificing features
or functionality. Using SocketWrench, you can easily create client
and server applications while avoiding many of the mundane tasks
and common problems that programmers face when developing Internet
applications.
The SocketWrench library can be particularly useful for
programmers who are developing in languages other than C and C++.
SocketWrench does not require the use of complex data structures or
use methods which require data types that are common in C or C++,
but not as easily implemented in other languages.
This library supports secure connections using the standard SSL
and TLS protocols and can also be used to create secure, custom
server programs. Both implicit and explicit SSL connections are
supported, enabling the library to work with a wide variety of
client and server applications without requiring that you use
third-party libraries or understand Microsoft’s CryptoAPI. A Secure
Edition license must be purchased to use the security features in
this library.
Requirements
This library is supported on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows
Server 2003, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. If you are
using Windows 2000, it is required that you have Service Pack (SP4)
installed. If you are using Windows XP, it is required that you
have at least Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed and it is recommended
that you install Internet Explorer 7.0. It is also recommended that
all critical updates to the Windows operating system be
installed.
The SocketTools Library Edition libraries are compatible with
any development environment that supports calling functions
exported from a standard dynamic link library (DLL). This includes
Visual Studio 6.0, Visual Studio .NET 2003, Visual Studio 2005 and
Visual Studio 2008. If you are using Visual Basic 6.0 or Visual C++
6.0, it is required that you have Service Pack 6 (SP6) installed.
If you are using Visual Studio .NET 2003, it is recommended that
you install Service Pack 1 (SP1). In all cases, it is recommended
that you have the current updates for your development tools
installed.
Distribution
When you distribute your application that uses this library, you
should install the appropriate files in the same folder as your
application executable. This library is a standard Windows dynamic
link library and not a self-registering COM component.
