SocketLib

Socket library written in c++11/14 for Windows/Linux (32/64)

• IPv4 and IPv6 support
• TCP and UDP support (both with SSL/TLS)
• multi-cast support for IPv4 and IPv6
• Enum all IP's on the host
• notify if host ip comes up / changes / is removed
• TLS 1.3 if openssl 1.1.1 or newer is used
• Multi-threading, none blocking. All callback function executed in own thread

Examples: https://github.com/Tomenz/Examples-SocketLib

In the Windows project files "OpenSSL_HOME" is stored for the "include" and "library" directories of openssl. You should create the enviroment variable, or change the include and library directories in the Visual Studio project files. In Linux, libssl-dev must be installed (Or the source code of openssl must be compiled and installed).

Meanwhile a short client / server example using the "SocketLib" library
*** The "SocketLib" library in this example should by compiled with WITHOUT_OPENSSL defined, so we don't need the opensll library
*** If you need SSL, you have to fix the path for the openssl headers and lib's when compiling the library
