[Solved] Sending/Receiving info To/From TCP/IP Server

[Satsuki]

I would like to use OpenOffice to my application. I have a server. A server conect to google research and it retrieves a sequence. This sequence is send to openoffice. But I am unsure how to program the TCP socket client to send and recive sequences.

I use python to program my application. A server operate because I do a temporaly client for evaluate the server.
But I need to know if is possible create TCP client in openoffice for send and recieve sequences. In openoffice the user select a text with the cursor. I want send this selection to socket server, but I don't know how to program the TCP/IP socket connection.

¿Any example?

Thanks

I never tried but we can submit input forms through HTTP get or post without coding. See the "General" tab of a form's properties.

There is socket library in the Python standard library.
Here is an example and it worked on my environment between locally installed python as server and python instance of OOo.

Thanks for response.

I tester two codes and I have some problems:

Code: Select all   Expand viewCollapse view

import uno

import socket

def send():

   HOST = ''    # The remote host
   PORT = 4001              # The same port as used by the server
   s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
   s.connect((HOST, PORT))
   s.send('Hello, world')
   data = s.recv(1024)
   s.close()
   print 'Received', repr(data)


Code: Select all   Expand viewCollapse view

    import uno

    from socket import *

    server = ''

    port = 4001
   
    def(send):

        s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM)

        s.connect((server, port))

        s.send('Hello world')

        answer = s.recv(1024)

        s.close()



I select Tools --> Marcros --> Organise Macros --> Python. Select the script send. Click ejecute.
I get the next error UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 42: ordinal not in range(128).traceback follows /opt/openoffice.org/basis3.1/program/pythonscript.py: 792 in function invoke() [self.mode,__file__+"(" + text + ")"]

¿Where is the problem?
Thanks

Modify your code to find real error like the following:

Code: Select all   Expand viewCollapse view

   try:
      s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
   except Exception as e:
      print("error at creation: %s" % e)


If you get Errorno 10061, change the PORT that you use.

The error is the same, The new code don't get any error.

¿Have you got any operate example?

[hanya]

The example mentioned above works with HOST='' and PORT=50007 for the server and HOST='localhost' and PORT=50007 for the client on my environment.

The error is the same, The new code don't get any error.

What did you get with the modification...
