Still needing help with maintaining a socket connection

2003-01-20T15:25:42-04:00

OK, I think I got it working now. It's not pinging out. Just fiddled around a bit with that piece of code egghead gave me. and it's staying connected.

Code:

proc connect:rcv { idx text } {# if connection closed: control back to eggdrop   if { $text == "" } {       putlog "RCV: connection closed by server."      return 1   }   #---------->This Part<-----------   if {[scan $text {8 :%s} pword] == 1 } {    # Server sent PING    putidx $idx "PONG :$pword"    putlog "PONG: $pword"   return 0 }    # putlog any text that eggdrop receives   putlog "$text"   # new text should come to this proc   return 0}

The "8" was actually the ping reply numeric from the IRCD. So by changing "PING" to "8", the script responds.
Thx so much for all you patience ppslim and egghead.

Other method to obtain the information, include downloading a ready made service bot, and trying to figure out, what does what.

Still getting the same result. Here is a log from eggdrop -n if it helps

As this is not a regular client-server communication session, you will need to figure out the specifics of the server-server protocol you use.

There is no need to use listen, unless you are attempting to listen and accept connections.

If you are making the connection from eggdrop, to the server, as a service, then no, you don't need a listening socket.

Thx egghead. I'm allready sending through the server protoccols, nick and user info. Thx again for you help.

Something else I just thought of, thx to ppslim
Should I have a listen to catch the pings?
Gonna try that scriptlet egghead sent.

Here's a look at the entire tcl

and a look at the log I'm recieving from eggdrop -n

After looking at RFC 1459, and the suplimentry RFC's (2813, 2812) (all are available HERE), it seems that you are not receiving the PING.

The output (with blue highlighting), shows no signs of a incoming PING that needs a reply.

Can you show the exact code you are using, as the code posted, doesn't seem at all wrong.

After some more reading of your post, it seems that the output is garbled. There is a number 8 on the line. From what I can see, 8 is also the IDX of the connection.

For more information on PING and PONG, see points 3.7.2 and 3.7.3 in RFC 2812.

See tcl-commands.doc for the correct usage of the putdcc command.

Making a services based connection. The only thing I really need help with is maintaining the socket connection with pong replies. The rest I can figure out on my own. Thx

Below the part

Code:

if { $text == "" } {       putlog "RCV: connection closed by server."      return 1}

insert

Code:

if {[scan $text {PING :%s} pword] == 1 } {   # Server sent PING   putidx $idx "PONG :$pword"   return 0}

Note that upon making the connection to that IRC server you also must send the USER/NICK info. Read rfc1459 on the syntax for USER/NICK.

Read the IRC RFC (1459). This includes both server-server, and clinet-server connections.

My guess, is you are using a non-standard based protocol.

Are you making a services, client or server based connection to the IRCD.

These three are all different, though there isn't much between the server, and clinet based connections.

There is a suplimetary RFC (though I don't know the number, or know if it's even official) in regards to services based connections.

THese are all beyond the scope of the egghelp.org forums.

I've tried a few different ways to send a pong to the ircd. Here's what I"m getting in ssh

[21:31] RCV: @1a n Eggserv +d 5254
[21:32] RCV: 8 :Xion.scifi-net.org
[21:34] RCV: :Xion.scifi-net.org GNOTICE :No response from eggserv.scifi-net.org[*], closing link
[21:34] RCV: ERROR :Closing Link: eggserv.scifi-net.org[*] (Ping timeout)
[21:34] net: eof!(read) socket 8
[21:34] RCV: connection closed by server.
[21:34] -NOTICE- *** Notice -- No response from eggserv.scifi-net.org[*], closing link

The blue part is the ping to the connection. How would I insert a pong? I've tried a few things, like putdcc PONG my.services.name, just using PONG. and a few others. Any ideas? If you would like to see the entire script I"m using, let me know and I'll upload it to my site and make a link.

Thx to egghead for the following scriptlet that I'm using.

proc connect:rcv { idx text } {
# if connection closed: control back to eggdrop
if { $text == "" } {
putlog "RCV: connection closed by server."
return 1
}
# putlog any text that eggdrop receives
putlog "RCV: $text"
# new text should come to this proc
return 0
}

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
