All,

Does anyone know where I can get a simple example of writing a server in D?  Just a stupid little echo server would be fine.  I'm trying to write one myself, but for some reason it doesn't seem to be accepting any connections.  I figure it's something stupidly simple, but I'm just not seeing it.

Perhaps a related question is: is there anything weird about creating a server on windows?  I'm currently using D on a windows laptop, so perhaps this is a platform issue?  I find it unlikely, but you never know.

Thanks.

Casey

Check the "samples" dir inside the dmd instalation folder.
Theres a sample there named "listener.d" that shows how to use D sockets.
If you're using DMD2, the listener.d file is broken. You'll have to convert it into D2 yourself.

I actually did look at that and it is more than I was looking for.  I just wanted something akin to "Listen -> Accept -> Process -> Respond -> Repeat."

Regardless, it turns out that my understanding was better than I thought.  I just had a stupid little bug that I didn't notice was an actual compilation error at first.  Guess that's what I get when I try to write code when tired...

Anyway, thanks!
