Hi,
What is the difference between Socket and OldSocket classes in Squeak? What class I should use to for Stream communication? I have found no test classes on the basic operations on sockets as open a socket, open an input output streams on socket, accept a connection, close the socket, etc... is it normal?
Thanks, Houssam

My advice is to not use Socket directly - you most likely want to use SocketStream instead. In 3.9 the SocketStream implementation is new - and for older Squeaks you can load the new implementation as the package called FastSocketStream available on SqueakMap.
The only reason AFAIK for OldSocket still hanging around is the fact that HttpSocket still uses it, but hopefully we will get it moved over to Socket soon and then it will be removed.

Göran:
An example of how you serialize and send one arbitrary complex object between two machines is too much to ask ?
I copy rsT sendObject method for doing this (and have to copy six methods from OldSocket to all my images).
I know what is not the best way ...
So, a micro how to tutorial in 3.9 ? Your Christmas gift?.
Cheers.

See the Magma client server package on the wiki and SqueakSource.

And another way of putting it is:
Serialization and RPC frameworks are layers on top of Socket/SocketStream which means that these things should not be in the Socket class or SocketStream class. There are tons of such frameworks on SM.
But of course, we could add something to the class comments pointing the developer in the right direction.

Ok, I take a look here, thanks for the tip

Use Socket.
In 3.9a, tests from OldSocket have been/will be moved to Socket, and most likely OldSocket will be removed.

Yes in fact you get FastSocketStream under Socket in 39a :)
