What is the best way to create a socket object on an already connected client?ããI have a sample door that already has user.* object access but I want to createãa new hot socket connection based on the current users client.socket;ãclient.port; client.protocol so that I can then:ããvar s = new Socket(SOCK_STREAM, user.protocol);ã then var real_ip = s.remote_ip_address; ... type thingieããIs this possible?ãããMy doctor said I have the body of a 25 year old ... and the mind of a 10 :-/ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ AlleyCat!

I had tried client.socket.remote_ip_addressãbut it was still showing as 127.0.0.1, so I suspect that connecting to anãalready open socket as var s = new Socket(true, client.socket.descriptor);ãprint(s.Socket.remote_ip_address) would likely just show what was alreadyãstored in client.socket.remote_ip_address; which is already user.ip_address andãbbs.atcode["CID] anyway ... hmmm...ããThanks, EC, I appreciate the responseããããããMy doctor said I have the body of a 25 year old ... and the mind of a 10 :-/ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ AlleyCat!
