Library

Tested with Function Developer 2.0 using the Microsoft Linker option.

Overview

This project builds an application which will patch the Functional Developer socket library source code to open various protocols so they can be extended by other libraries.

This is required for the SSL socket support I've added. This created library, 'x-sockets', is a drop in replacement for the 'network' library that it patches. All existing projects should continue to run with the 'x-sockets' library as well as the original 'network' library. By changing the library usage from 'network' to 'x-sockets' you can use the new extended protocol. See the readme.txt file contained within the archive for more details.

Note that the patched source files from the original network library are distributed with permision from Functional Objects. Functional Objects have agreed to update their network library to have a similar type of opened protocol so this application will eventually not be needed.

As an application it provides an example of how to use the Wizard DUIM classes.
