I'm trying to make a client/server program in localhost but the client can not connect to the server and I do not know what I'm doing wrong.
I have tried to debug the program and all the parameters seem to be ok.The server does bind, connect, listen and accept.
With the client code a get connect: Invalid argument
error. Client (I'm calling the client from the console with ./client localhost
):
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
int cd;
struct hostent *hp;
struct sockaddr_in s_ain;
unsigned char byte;
hp = gethostbyname(argv[1]);
bzero((char *)&s_ain, sizeof(s_ain));
s_ain.sin_family = AF_INET;
memcpy(&(s_ain.sin_addr), hp->h_addr, hp->h_length);
s_ain.sin_port = htons(1025);
cd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
if( connect(cd, (struct sockaddr*) &s_ain, sizeof(s_ain) == -1) ) {
fprintf(stderr, "connect: %s\n", strerror(errno));
return -1;
}
printf("%s\n", "IT WORKS!");
close(cd);
return 0;
}
Server:
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
int sd, cd;
socklen_t size;
unsigned char byte;
struct sockaddr_in s_ain, c_ain;
sd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
bzero((char *)&s_ain, sizeof(s_ain));
s_ain.sin_family = AF_INET;s_ain.sin_family = AF_INET;
s_ain.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
s_ain.sin_port = htons(1025);
if(bind(sd, (struct sockaddr *)&s_ain, sizeof(s_ain)) == -1) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", "err bind");
return -1;
}
if(listen(sd, 5) == -1) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", "err listen");
return -1;
}
while(1) {
size = sizeof(c_ain);
cd = accept(sd, (struct sockaddr *)&c_ain, &size);
printf("%s\n", "IT WORKS !");
}
}
Either you have a typo in your example, or
if( connect(cd, (struct sockaddr*) &s_ain, sizeof(s_ain) == -1) ) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", "err connect");
return -1;
}
has wrong parenthesis. Currently you will call connect
with socklen_t addrlen
as 0
. It should read
if( connect(cd, (struct sockaddr*) &s_ain, sizeof(s_ain)) == -1) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", "err connect");
return -1;
}
