Hi,<br>      I need to send ip information of a client to the other one (as they will connect to each other directly now).<br>I used <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/doc/html/boost_asio/example/echo/async_tcp_echo_server.cpp">async echo server sample </a>as a starting point.<br>
I guess sessions are recorded in io_service instance, since in the server constructor when we create session, we pass io_service to it.<br>session* new_session = new session(io_service_);<br>Can I get information of connected sessions from io_service?<br>
(or any other recommendations on how to better design it?)<br><br>To expand my question: I am implementing a chat server, but the chats will not go over the server (is it a bad idea?).<br>many clients connects, I keep their status (online or not) in a database.<br>
when A wants to talk to B, I need to pass request to B, how can I get a handle to my connection to B while I am in the instance of session with A?<br><br>I am still not sure I understand io_service concept.<br>Is this proactor thing similar to observer pattern? When we pass io_service as a parameter to something, are we registering it to be observed in io_service?<br>
<br>Thanks in advance, <br>(<b>Thanks for all the previous answers too, </b>I have made significant progress...)<br><br clear="all">Best regards,<br>Ozgur (Oscar) Ozturk<br><a href="http://www.DrOzturk.com">www.DrOzturk.com</a><br>
