Allows plugins to make TCP + connections to the outside world using a callback-based API.

+

+ All functions in this namespace are static, they should be called on the cNetwork class itself: +

+local Server = cNetwork:Listen(1024, ListenCallbacks);
+

+ ]], + AdditionalInfo = + { + { + Header = "Using callbacks", + Contents = + [[ + The entire Networking API is callback-based. Whenever an event happens on the network object, a + specific plugin-provided function is called. The callbacks are stored in tables which are passed + to the API functions, each table contains multiple callbacks for the various situations.

+

+ There are three different callback variants used: LinkCallbacks, LookupCallbacks and + ListenCallbacks. Each is used in the situation appropriate by its name - LinkCallbacks are used + for handling the traffic on a single network link (plus additionally creation of such link when + connecting as a client), LookupCallbacks are used when doing DNS and reverse-DNS lookups, and + ListenCallbacks are used for handling incoming connections as a server.

+

+ LinkCallbacks have the following structure:
+

+local LinkCallbacks =
+{
+	OnConnected = function ({{cTCPLink|a_TCPLink}})
+		-- The specified {{cTCPLink|link}} has succeeded in connecting to the remote server.
+		-- Only called if the link is being connected as a client (using cNetwork:Connect() )
+		-- Not used for incoming server links
+		-- All returned values are ignored
+	end,
+	
+	OnError = function ({{cTCPLink|a_TCPLink}}, a_ErrorCode, a_ErrorMsg)
+		-- The specified error has occured on the {{cTCPLink|link}}
+		-- No other callback will be called for this link from now on
+		-- For a client link being connected, this reports a connection error (destination unreachable etc.)
+		-- It is an Undefined Behavior to send data to a_TCPLink in or after this callback
+		-- All returned values are ignored
+	end,
+	
+	OnReceivedData = function ({{cTCPLink|a_TCPLink}}, a_Data)
+		-- Data has been received on the {{cTCPLink|link}}
+		-- Will get called whenever there's new data on the {{cTCPLink|link}}
+		-- a_Data contains the raw received data, as a string
+		-- All returned values are ignored
+	end,
+	
+	OnRemoteClosed = function ({{cTCPLink|a_TCPLink}})
+		-- The remote peer has closed the {{cTCPLink|link}}
+		-- The link is already closed, any data sent to it now will be lost
+		-- No other callback will be called for this link from now on
+		-- All returned values are ignored
+	end,
+}
+

+

+ LookupCallbacks have the following structure:
+

+local LookupCallbacks =
+{
+	OnError = function (a_Query, a_ErrorCode, a_ErrorMsg)
+		-- The specified error has occured while doing the lookup
+		-- a_Query is the hostname or IP being looked up
+		-- No other callback will be called for this lookup from now on
+		-- All returned values are ignored
+	end,
+
+	OnFinished = function (a_Query)
+		-- There are no more DNS records for this query
+		-- a_Query is the hostname or IP being looked up
+		-- No other callback will be called for this lookup from now on
+		-- All returned values are ignored
+	end,
+
+	OnNameResolved = function (a_Hostname, a_IP)
+		-- A DNS record has been found, the specified hostname resolves to the IP
+		-- Called for both Hostname -> IP and IP -> Hostname lookups
+		-- May be called multiple times if a hostname resolves to multiple IPs
+		-- All returned values are ignored
+	end,
+}
+

+

+ ListenCallbacks have the following structure:
+

+local ListenCallbacks =
+{
+	OnAccepted = function ({{cTCPLink|a_TCPLink}})
+		-- A new connection has been accepted and a {{cTCPLink|Link}} for it created
+		-- It is safe to send data to the link now
+		-- All returned values are ignored
+	end,
+	
+	OnError = function (a_ErrorCode, a_ErrorMsg)
+		-- The specified error has occured while trying to listen
+		-- No other callback will be called for this lookup from now on
+		-- This callback is called before the cNetwork:Listen() call returns
+		-- All returned values are ignored
+	end,
+
+	OnIncomingConnection = function (a_RemoteIP, a_RemotePort, a_LocalPort)
+		-- A new connection is being accepted, from the specified remote peer
+		-- This function needs to return either nil to drop the connection,
+		-- or valid LinkCallbacks to use for the new connection's {{cTCPLink|TCPLink}} object
