[asio-users] looking for a self connecting async server

Discussion:

Hi all,

I took a look into
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_51_0/doc/html/boost_asio/example/echo/async_tcp_echo_server.cpp
which I understand so far.

Now I'm trying to edit the example above to somewhat of a "self
connecting server". The usage should be like this:

server <port> <remote ip> <remote port>

E.g.:

server 1111 192.168.0.1 1111

Are there any examples for such a scenario? Or any hints how to edit
the example above?

Thanks in advance!
Goran

Is better for you create a child process and use some inter process
communication like pipe or unix socket.

What if the binary is on two machines? E.g. localhost != 192.168.0.1
in my example below.

Maybe my first post has not been correct (I'm quite new to asio). I
digged around and found this post:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4381792/c-boost-tcp-serialized-objects-on-channel-bidirectional-communication-does-no

This is something like I need but still not enough information for my skills.

Hi, Goran.

Now I'm trying to edit the example above to somewhat of a "self
server <port> <remote ip> <remote port>

May be it can be achieved by combining chat_server with chat_client (one of the most interesting Asio example):

I think that serialization example is the way for you.

But if you are going to use a huge complex object serialization over
network i suggest CORBA. There are many CORBA implementations.

May be https://github.com/boostcon/2011_presentations/raw/master/mon/thinking_asynchronously.pdf can help (there is an
example of proxy in that presentation).
