Rewrite wesnoth network stack using boost::asio
Page for the idea: SoC_Ideas_Network_Stack_Rewrite
Rewrite wesnoth network stack using boost::asio.
There are no submitted student proposals for this idea
Additional Information
Currently, wesnoth uses 'sdl net' for network layer. There's a number of issues with it. We want to recode wesnoth network layer (wesnothd server, wesnoth client, stats uploader) using a framework like boost::asio. Features wanted:
- proxy support.
- configurable timeout value for connections.
- ability for wesnoth client to multiplex connections to wesnoth server (allow client to connect to wesnoth server multiple times)
- ability to use wesnoth network client with a different c++ backend (e.g., use wesnoth network client as a library)
Questions
- what proxies (authentication types) we can support, if we code a network stack using boost::asio, and how hard it'll be ?
- what general architecture for the client you're going to use ?
- what general architecture for the server you're going to use ?
- how you'd allow the wesnoth client to multiplex connections to wesnoth server ?
- how you'd make it possible to use wesnoth network client with a different c++ backend?
- what problems and potential pitfalls do you see in the task?
