Where can a get a library for programming sockets?
There is the Simple Sockets Library by Charles E. Campbell, Jr. PhD. and Terry McRoberts. The file is called ssl.tar.gz, and you can download it from this faq’s home page. For c++ there is the Socket++ library which is supposed to be on ftp://ftp.virginia.edu somewhere. There is also C++ Wrappers, but I can’t find this package anywhere. The file is called C++_wrappers.tar.gz. I have asked the people where it used to be stored where I can find it now, but I never heard back. From http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt you should be able to find the ACE toolkit. I don’t have any experience with any of these libraries, so I can’t recomend one over the other.
