What's a good socket library for C++?
If not cross-platform, *nix compatible, please.

This might be better done in a higher level language, too. Perl, Python, Ruby... any of those will give you socket capabilities that will work pretty much anywhere. And the code's heaven too. Smile

code:
require "socket"

$port = 12000

server = TCPServer.new($port);

Thread.start(server.accept) { |client|
   client.puts("hello world!")
   client.close
}

client = TCPSocket.new("localhost", $port)
puts client.gets


A simple server (only accepts one connection) and a client in 13 lines of code that will work on *nix (Linux, BSDs, Mac OS X, Solaris, AIX, etc.) and Windows.

Anyway, just a thought.
