Http.requests.* handle connection refused

mano1979 · October 9, 2018, 4:17pm

I am writing a little program to search all ip adresses in my network for an appropriate respons.
But the ip addresses that do not have any server or service running give an error and even worse, it takes very long until the program continues to the next ip.
The error is not my problem, since it is only displayed in the console, but i want to limit the time it can take to wait for a respons. The servers i want to find easily respond within 500ms. So i set the program to give it 1000ms for each ip.

If anyone can help me… please speak up

Hi mano1979, have you tryed to use thread() function to parallelize the requests?

mano1979 · October 9, 2018, 6:29pm

No. Mainly because i don’t know what it means i guess.
Can you show me a short example on how to use it?

Dennis · October 9, 2018, 6:40pm

Maybe post your code…

mano1979 · October 9, 2018, 6:45pm

sure!

// Need G4P library

String IP;
public void setup(){
  size(480, 320, JAVA2D);
  createGUI();
  customGUI();
  //smooth();
  
  ipAddr = KetaiNet.getIP();  
  println(ipAddr);
  String[] list = split(ipAddr, '.');
  IP = (list[0] + "." + list[1] + "." + list[2] + ".");
  println(IP);
}

  background(230);

    get.send();
    if(get.getContent() != null){

This is the link to thread() processing reference:
https://processing.org/reference/thread_.html

try to parallelize scanning inside a for statement

when i have some time i help you…

mano1979 · October 9, 2018, 7:07pm

Thank you, i will read it. If i can’t make sense of it, i’ll post here again (also if i was succesfull )

mano1979 · October 9, 2018, 7:16pm

I had a look at the example, but if i understand right, I will have multiple threads running at the same time, all sending a get request to different ip addresses. won’t this give issues? either with the pc or the network?

I will offcourse try it. just have to figure out how to implement it. but i think i can do it.

i’ll keep you posted!

mano1979 · October 11, 2018, 1:51pm

@Dennis I have found a sollution, but it means i have to make adjustments to the .net library.
However, when i make the changes and try to test my app, the changes do not make a difference. Do i need to recompile the library before i can use it? I tried restarting processing after the changes but still no difference.

I’m having trouble to rebuild the library so before i put more efford into it, i’d like to know if i have to rebuild it at all.

Dennis · October 12, 2018, 10:18am

Sorry , but I’m not very expert in the library recompiling…

mano1979 · October 12, 2018, 10:31am

Ok. Thanks for replying anyway.
