Overview
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 functions 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 Microsoft's CryptoAPI.
Requirements
The SocketTools Library Edition libraries are compatible with
any programming language that supports calling functions exported
from a standard dynamic link library (DLL). If you are using Visual
C++ 6.0 it is required that you have Service Pack 6 (SP6)
installed. It is recommended that you install all updates for your
development tools and have the current Windows SDK installed.
This library is supported on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003,
Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. If you are using
Windows XP, it is required that you have Service Pack 3 (SP3)
installed. It is recommended that all service packs and critical
updates to the Windows operating system be installed.
This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries. Native
64-bit CPU support requires the latest 64-bit version of Windows XP
Professional, Windows Server 2003 or later versions of the Windows
operating system.
Distribution
When you distribute your application that uses this library, it
is recommended that you install the file in the same folder as your
application executable. If you install the library into a shared
location on the system, it is important that you distribute the
correct version for the target platform and it should be registered
as a shared DLL. This is a standard Windows dynamic link library,
not an ActiveX component, and does not require COM
registration.
