socket and PBWS32.DLL

[George]

Hi everyone !

One of our partner has developped a application which use networks
functions. He made FTP, SMTP, HTTP object based on u_socket object which is
based on winsock32 and use two functions of pbws32.dll: GetHost and
GetService.

For thoses who used this functions, is there a way to get rid off pbws32.dll
? Because there are no documents and no support on this DLL. So is there a
way to get the same behaviour with winsock only ?

PBWS32.DLL is somebody's custom DLL. You might just make the calls
directly into winsock, but I'm just guessing at this point what they
do. The GetHost is probably something like GetHostName:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winsock/winsock/gethostname_2.asp

Although it may be doing the equivalent of GetAddrInfo:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winsock/winsock/getaddrinfo_2.asp

And the GetService may be doing something like GetServByName:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winsock/winsock/getservbyname_2.asp

George,

pbws32.dll was provided as part of one of the PowerBuilder 5 example apps.

I have an example of doing it without this dll on my website.
