RetransmittingMSock class

Subclass of MessageSocket that tracks what messages have been received, and retransmits ones that haven't been. Not SUPER robust, and not super efficient, but it's much better than nothing.

Methods

close() → Future<void>

inherited

noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic

Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.

inherited

ping() → Future<void>

This ping gets no pong. It relies on the behavior I've so far observed, that if you try to send data on a broken connection, it times out after 30 seconds or so, flagging the connection as broken (and aborting any read attempts in progress, btw). The data it sends is an 8 byte big endian -1, which would otherwise indicate a subsequent message -1 bytes in length (but is discarded as a ping).

recvBytes({int maxLen = 1000000, bool tryHard = true}) → Future<Uint8List?>

Result of [] simply means an empty message; result of null implies some kind of failure; likely a disconnect. //NEXT Update docs

override

recvString({bool? allowMalformed = true, int maxLen = 1000000, bool tryHard = true}) → Future<String?>

inherited

sendBytes(Uint8List data, {bool important = true}) → Future<bool>

Send a message.
data should be a list of bytes, or a string (which will then be encoded with utf-8.)
Throws exception on socket failure.
//DUMMY Doesn't throw. Just keeps going. Should probably fix that.
If not important, and another message is currently being sent, returns false instead of sending the message.
Otherwise, returns true once message has been added to the sock.

override

sendString(String s, {bool important = true}) → Future<bool>

See sendBytes

inherited

toString() → String

A string representation of this object.
