This is a simple echo server. It listens on port 1234 for incoming connections and just echos back any text it receives, but in upper case. So basically it is the same as the sockets_ex.cpp example program except it uses iostreams. To test it out you can just open a command prompt and type: telnet localhost 1234 Then you can type away. */ #include <dlib/server.h> #include <iostream> using namespace dlib; using namespace std; class serv : public server_iostream { void on_connect ( std::istream& in, std::ostream& out, const std::string& foreign_ip, const std::string& local_ip, unsigned short foreign_port, unsigned short local_port, uint64 connection_id ) { // The details of the connection are contained in the last few arguments to // on_connect().
