Re: [Help-smalltalk] Re: Using Sockets

[Stephen]

Hi Aidan,

If you have a mailserver running locally, here is some simple sockets 
code to access the response from it.

$ cat gst31_sockettest.st
#!/usr/bin/gst -f
       PackageLoader fileInPackage: 'NetClients'.
       s := Sockets.Socket remote: '127.0.0.1' port: 25.
       (s upTo: Character cr) printNl.
       s close.

$ gst gst31_sockettest.st
"Global garbage collection... done"
Loading package Sockets
Loading package SUnit
Loading package NetClients
'220 mailserver.ourdomain.com ESMTP Postfix'

Regards
Stephen
