Re: luasocket question

[Ulrich Schmidt <u.sch.zw@...>]

I am using lua5.2 on windows7. (shortend code below.)
using taskmanger i see my prog listening on tcpv6 but tcp.
probably my quick fix is the easiest way to force listening on tcp 
insted tcpv6. the old game client i want to comunicate with seems unable 
to use tcpv6.

--8<---------------------------------------------------
socket = require("socket");
host = host or "localhost";
port = port or "10300";
--socket.tcp6 = socket.tcp -- quick hack
server = assert(socket.bind(host, port));
ack = "\n";
while 1 do
    print("server: waiting for client connection...");
    control = assert(server:accept());
    print("server: incoming connection...");
    while 1 do
        command, emsg = control:receive();
        if emsg == "closed" then
            control:close()
            break
        end
        assert(command, emsg)
        assert(control:send(ack));
        --print(dumpHex(command));
        --print(dumpDec(command));
    end
end
--8<---------------------------------------------------

greetings.
Ulrich.
