The problem is that for it to be released on the Code Gallery, I wanted it to be as simple as possible, and code that would only work if you enabled sockets on their server didn't seem like a good solution.

Now go tweak it, since afaik TSockets are enabled on all servers by default.

I'm fairly certain of the opposite; I put in a ticket a few days ago asking for it on Era and Era Dev, and Stefan responded with a need for the IP/server and port numbers that would need to be connected to.

EDIT:

Yep

I think cbk1994 is right -- Stefan's likely blocking all connections on non-graal ports via. iptables or a firewall of sorts, so unless he intends on opening the machines to all sorts of random traffic, he'll probably never just open the flood doors like that for TSocket.

Hm, my bad then. I was pretty sure I read a post from Stefan a while ago saying he enabled it by default, must've been something else, or simply my imagination.

It's possible that the technology is enabled on all the servers, just he needs to config the machines for specific ip : ports.

If he implemented some sort simple post data feature to requesturl that would be great. I'd rather not mess around with sockets.

Agreed, or at least have a server option or something to allow servers to be connected to without contacting Stefan.

If he opened the sockets to everyone then there would be risk of getting DDoS'd, so I would assume that he would be insecure about this stuff.

[fowlplay4]

Just a notice but, messages sent should be URL encoded before being sent out. I don't believe that hard-coded functionality was out at the time of this release.

It's just a matter of replacing..

Line 154 with:

NPC Code:

---

  requesturl( this.url @ "?user=" @ this.username @ "&pass=" @ this.password @ "&status=" @ urlencode(msg) );

---

If we had access to an ACL, it would alleviate a lot of the security concerns
